We are halfway through spooky October and maybe you are looking for a good scary book to read. Our guest today, Johann Trotter, can give you some tips. Johann lives in Northern Ireland and works as a scientific researcher. But her hobby gone wild is horror in all its forms. She is a self-professed horror junkie. She is a bit obsessed with Stephen King, but on her instagram page @jobis89, you can find a wide variety of non-Stephen King horror book suggestions and reviews to make any spooky reader happy.

She is currently doing a 2 year project to read a horror book set in each of the 50 US States. We do a deep dive into the horror genre this week.

You can find Johann Trotter on instagram, @Jobis89.

Forward Radio was excited to participate in and live broadcast from the Garvin Gate Blues Festival in Old Louisville at Oak & Garvin Place (5th Street) on Saturday, October 8, 2022 from 1-11pm! Learn more at http://www.garvingatebluesfestival.com. Come on out and visit our booth to the right of the main stage on Garvin Place. Learn about how to get involved and support Forward Radio. Pick up a bumper sticker and you can also get yourself registered to vote at our booth (the deadline to register for the November general election is Oct. 11, 2022).

The Garvin Gate Blues Festival got its start in 1988 at the old Rudyard Kipling. Today this event is the largest free neighborhood street music festival in Louisville and takes place the second full-weekend in October at The Gate on Garvin Place and Oak Streets in historic Old Louisville, just a mile south of downtown. The festival attracts a very diverse audience from all over the Midwest, making it one of the largest and most recognized free blues music festivals in the U.S. Countless legendary blues musicians have performed at the Garvin Gate Blues Festival throughout the years, they help to keep Louisville's blues heritage alive. Louisville played a role in the Great Migration from the South after World War II, but it was during urban renewal when we lost a lot of our urban blues culture. The festival is run entirely by volunteers with proceeds from sponsorships and vendor sales benefiting The Garvin Gate Neighborhood Association, the historic Old Louisville preservation district neighborhood, the Kentuckiana Blues Society and different charities chosen each year.
