No new word on the restoration of the KFAI audio archives. Wjord has been February at best -- maybe as late as March. Yeah, we are bummed about this sad state of affairs as well.

For 15 years now Radio Rumpus Room has been broadcast Fridays at 9-10:30 p.m. on KFAI Fresh Air Radio, FM 90.3 Minneapolis and 106.7 St. Paul. The show streams live on the Internet; our RealAudio archives will return in a month or two. Just visit the RRR web page anytime to listen to this noise and accompanying yakkin' by Ron and Jean.
