A periodic reminder that there is an email list for my modern classical radio program.

Each week I sent out a *single* email with links to information about the week's show, plus a link to the high quality audio for the show.

(It's a link on https://samply.app/ If you have good internet bandwidth, you can even get lossless quality. But the default is great.)
