It's $5 Friday at The Current's Member Drive. Many members start out with a donation of $5 per month, and it's an awesome level to get started. (Also at this level you can get the famous canvas TOTE.)

A big thanks to YOU, listeners, for powering great radio!

Do you deserve a Coffee Break? We at The Current's Morning Show think you do, and we want to bring coffee and treats from Peace Coffee and Glam Doll Donuts to your workplace. In addition, we'll bring along local artist Eric Mayson to perform a couple of songs for you and your coworkers. Let us know why you'd like a Coffee Break - or request your own idea for a future topic.
