16 September 2017 (Goodbye Grant Hart & More)

Too many epitaphs and tributes to start shows with these days, but what are you going to do? The great ones pass, that’s just how it works. We say goodbye to Grant Hart with a few classic Husker Du songs and then play other music. There was an unrelated Pre-Game Show that turned out well too. I present them both for you here.

About Ricardo Wang

I began doing Public/Community/College radio at KUGS FM in Bellingham, WA in 1985 and was there until 1987. I spent 10 years at KAOS FM in Olympia, WA from 1993-2003 including a one year stint as Music Director. During that entire time, I did the What's This Called? program, at times for as long as 6 hours in a single night! The show ran at KPSU in Portland, from 2005 to 2018. I've been happily at Freeform Portland since October of 2018 and loving every second at this exciting freeform station! I started the Olympia Experimental Music Festival in 1995 and have been playing music off and on in the Dead Air Fresheners since 1997.
