Hey Bob, Hey Heather Station PSAs

Local and regional bands from the Roanoke Valley comprise the two o'clock hour.

Logic isn't just for Vulcans! And it won't turn you into a robot. Instead, it's a powerful tool for independent thought and meaningful discussions. In each LFT episode, Bob Capper, Heather Rose, and RFR's Logic Lady explore an informal logical fallacy that people (including us) tend to fall into. We demonstrate the fallacy and explain how it may distort the truth or prevent honest debate.

Unreal Mixtape
-
"Unsung" Pennsylvania transplant and lifelong musician Jason Hoffheins creates a playlist of music that more people should hear...call it "talent deserving wider recognition". Sometimes it's bands signed to major labels that never quite got their due...sometimes it's independent local and regional artists putting music out on their own. Thoughtfully curated, with anecdotes and info thrown in for good measure.
