Spring Is in the Air!

The Boston area is experiencing its first week of real amicable weather: blue skies, the sun's gentle rays, and the glistening Charles River moseying toward Boston. It's the perfect time to have a picnic, take an easy stroll, and play some Ultimate. Who'd want to be stuck inside this time of the year? Well, somebody has to broadcast your favorite news magazine, and we at WHRB News are ready and willing to make that sacrifice. It's all for you, listeners! But if you decided to get some fresh air sans portable radio, you're in luck. You can listen to today's episode in its entirety here: FATY 4.20.08.

Special thanks to our host John Selig.
