Always bittersweet to air the last show of the year. We have enjoyed playing music and talking to guests, but a little break is always nice. We hope and expect to be back when Macalester College is back in full swing in February 2025. Having Casandra Johnson join us in studio helped us sort through our conflicted feelings. Cassandra’s music can make any mood better. Her songs are vulnerable in a way that will meet you where you are. You can find her album (The Songs You Missed) online or check her out in person at the White Squirrel Jan 7, Feb 8 and at the Aster Café on March 7.
Big thanks to folks who sent us requests and recommendations for MN holiday songs. Check out the songs we played below or our aspirational playlist on Spotify.
