Postcards for Democracy: A Music Special
This episode of Orange Juice for the Ears is dedicated to the guests' music choices so far, which we don’t always get the time to fully celebrate.
During this special, Beatie Wolfe will be playing 'Orange Juice for the Ears' tracks from past guests that range from the "First Lady of Rock’n’Roll" to anti-whaling Sea Shepherd Captain for a show bookended by the greatly missed Grammy/Tony/Emmy winning songwriter and Songwriter Hall of Fame inductee Allee Willis in light of this week being September 21st.
The show also is dedicated to Postcards for Democracy - a demonstration to support the 225 yr old U.S. Postal Service & the right to VOTE. This collective art project is a collaboration between Devo’s Mark Mothersbaugh and dublab DJ Beatie Wolfe. The pair will be sharing more at Echo Park Rising.
