Friday Night Groove: October Recap
Welcome back to a better-late-than-never edition of the October newsletter for your favorite college radio program. Life got somewhat busy at the end of the last month, so I figured it was better to take my time rather than rush anything. We have about two months left in the year, which means only a handful of shows remain as the holidays take up much of the Friday night broadcast dates. We’ll cross that bridge when we get to it, but here’s everything that occurred over the airwaves in October.

10-14-22 Friday Night Groove
This episode welcomed Zakiya Minifee, renowned music lover, professional storyteller, and friend of the program to the guest selections series. Formerly from Detroit and now based in Chicago, Zakiya has guest-hosted the show in the past, and I knew this series was tailor-made for her music taste and talent for playlisting. You can look forward to more contributions from her in the future.

10-21-22 Friday Night Groove: Sio Edition
This month I was blessed to speak with Sio, the storyteller, singer, songwriter, and artist based in Johannesburg, South Africa. We covered a range of topics in this conversation, ranging from her rise through the South African house music scene, her passion for telling stories, and how crafting this album led from heartbreak to eventual healing.

Parting Thoughts
The end of November will mark the ten-year anniversary of this program. It’s surreal to think about that, and I’ll have more thoughts in next month's letter but for now, thank you for reading, stay blessed, and stay safe.
