The Fabulous 413

July 18, 2025: Good Music, Good Wine, Bad news for CPB


Listen Later

Good news and Bad News. 

Bad News First: The Corporation for Public Broadcasting has lost over a billion dollars of funding. Billion with a "B."

Which is bad, but what does that mean for NEPM itself? A lot of us are asking that question, so to make a little more sense out of last night’s surreptitious vote to defund public media, we’ll speak with NEPM’s own president Matt Abramovitz to gain some clarity on what this means for us here on our network of western Mass. stations. 

Then we get to the good things, one of which is an upcoming performance of local singer songwriter on the rise Lucia Dostal, where we’ll celebrate her EP from this past fall, hear about working writing songs for people that aren’t herself, and get ready to see her shine at Bands on Brewster in Northampton next week, along with fellow players drummer Carlie Morales, and guitarist Joey Schuyler. 

And since we are the imbibing type and dreamers besides, we’ll pit two pretty Basque roses against each other in this week’s Tina Turner Memorial Thunderdome at Tip Top Wine Shop in Easthampton with proprietors Lauren Clark and Miranda Brown.
