It's The Current's Time Machine Weekend
November 22, 2017
Thanksgiving is a holiday where we give thanks for years of great music. We gather round the radio and hop into the Time Machine and relive years past and present through music. Starting Wednesday morning at 10 — and all weekend long — we set the dials of The Current's Time Machine, and take a musical trip through a specific year each hour. One hour it's 1982, then the next it's 1959, then 1995, then 1977, then 2002 … you get the idea.
You don't need a hot tub or a flux capacitor — just a way to listen, whether on the radio, online, with the free MPR Radio app, even with an Amazon Echo using Alexa (and remember, if you're out of town for Thanksgiving, you can stream The Current from anywhere you've got an internet connection).
It's a Time Machine Weekend, starting Wednesday morning at 10. Happy Thanksgiving from all your friends at The Current!
