WERS’ 75th birthday year continues, with this past calendar month also happening to be Pride Month! All June long, we found ways to spotlight queer voices, whether by doing a deep dive on queer radio history, sharing our personal pride and music entwined journeys, or playing LGBTQ+ artists. (Read all of our Pride blog content here).
