Our Tuesday Forum features a variety of topics hosted and produced locally, but once every three or four months, on the 5th Tuesday, we reach out to the Internet and bring back significant podcasts produced by others (which is, BTW, the constant purpose of our Monday Forum, 6-7 PM).

First, a recent podcast from the Sierra Club, giving news and information about our planet, its environment, and how to better live with this in mind. Then, from The Planetary Society, we hear the latest about astronomy and space science. Remember these shows are archived as podcasts on this website, for listening anytime from immediately after broadcast: click on Talk Shows--Monday Forum--(select date).

WHFR is also hosting a special spring benefit concert titled “Detroit Blues Revue” from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. April 27 at New Place Lounge, 22723 Michigan Ave. in Dearborn. It will feature regional musicians, including Big Ray and the Motor City Kings, Motor City Josh and the Big 3 and Motor City Slim. Attendees must be 21 and older to attend.

Earth Day was observed earlier this week, but "Theme Attic," the radio show that picks themes and plays music from a variety of genres about selected subjects, feels that it is too important of a day to ignore.

Join host DJ Phil Maq on Thursday, April 25th, at 10:00AM for his clever and unusual takes on music!
