On this Sunday's program, we'll remember George Floyd, who would have turned 48 this October 14. Artist selections include rapper Metasota, and vocalist PaviElle and more, highlighting themes of human justice, community, and political reform.

We'll also hear a great selection of local bluegrass from Barbaro and Pert Near Sandstone; new pop music from Landon Conrath, and new R&B from Mayyadda and Samantha Moon and much more.
