Polar Bear Witness Supports WORT Community Radio

Entertainment
John Kraniak
Vintage Jazz

After the Farmers' Market, we drove over to drop off a contribution to the local community radio station, WORT.

On Saturdays they have a program "Entertainment" that features jazz and swing that Monona likes to listen to. When we got there, I was greeted by a half-dozen volunteers who were there to answer phone calls of pledges taken to support the show during its "on-air pledge campaign". That's how they make money and keep the great music on the air.

When we dropped our check off, I looked into the window of the production studio and saw the host, John Kraniak, was there. He gave us a big smile and we waved.

After we got in the car, as we drove away from the station, we turned the radio on and, what do you know! They talked about our visit on the show! "Did you see that Polar Bear come in here?" John asked. We drove away feeling satisfied and proud.

Truly yours,
Polar Bear Witness
