With these cuts, WCBE needs your help. If you value what we bring to Columbus, please start a monthly gift today at wcbe.org.

The ceiling in our Master Control studio is leaking again. It's okay, this has only happened *checks notes* 4 other times this year and then been "fixed". But we're on the list for a new roof, it's okay, the technician pinky-promised me and everything.

Old Tape by Lucius is a solid track. A great chorus, and the music video has Fred Armisen. What's not to love? (Maggie played the single edit version of this on the air earlier, but I couldn't find it on YouTube to post.)
