On Friday, June 21, 10-11 a.m., The Democracy Forum will address practicing politics and democracy at the most personal level–in local government, and the unusual experience we enjoy in the form of the New England town meeting. Does the town meeting still work? Is participation up or down? Is partisanship creeping in? Is money “from away” taking more of an interest? If you’ve never been, what do you need to know? We’ll take listener calls during the second half of the show. Learn more.
WERU Community Radio is pleased to present a new Maine-based music program called Live & Local. The show is produced and hosted by volunteers Johnny Too Bad and Nathan Red Beard.

Tune in every Sunday afternoon at 3:00 for Live & Local with an hour of great Maine music!

The Rugged is our “Featured Artist” this week. Each morning at 7:45 AM our volunteer disc jockey will play a cut from their new album (“Down & Purty”) and will then give away a FREE compact disc to a lucky listener. The band’s upcoming shows are listed below.
The Rugged hail from the hills of Jackson, Maine. Cody Tibbetts, Tim Valliere ( Val-yer) and Travis Lloyd met at Morse Memorial Elementary School in Brooks. They played in Various groups around the state and beyond over the years and eventually formed the trio in 2011. “Down and Purty” is their 3rd full length album.
