Free Form Freakout returned to the KMSU airwaves on May 14th after an extended hiatus due to Governor Walz’s daily press briefings being aired during our usual 2:00 p.m. time slot. As is the case for many radio stations right now, or everything for that matter, we haven’t been able to fully return to business as usual. We still aren’t able to access the studios at the radio station, so David has been recording the weekly show on his own at home for the time being. We are hoping to get back to doing the weekly show together again soon, but it seems to work best when we are in the same room together. For now, here’s what has been happening on the show for the past month and a half. If you’re unable to listen to the show live, they are archived and streamable for two weeks over on Radio Free America.
