December 10th at 9AM, hosts JD and Joey Books, return for a final Beatles Pop-up! Tune in to hear selections from the NEW Beatles Box-set, “1962-1966 / 1967-1970″, where the famous Red and Blue albums are newly remixed, with 20 additional tracks including their NEW Single, “Now and Then”. Fab Four banter with two DJ’s who were 10 and 12 years old when breakthrough hit, “I Wanna Hold Your Hand” was played in America for the first time, by disc jockey, Carrol James (who arranged for an English flight attendant, to bring the record from London) on December 17th, 1963. A week earlier, Walter Cronkite aired a report on the evening news about the Beatles, triggering Beatlemania, when 15 year old Marsha Albert saw them play “She Loves You” and wrote to local radio station WWDC, asking why they weren’t playing the Beatles. She actually introduced the first spin and the rest is history! Live or archived, don’t miss this special show, anywhere you are in the world, only at: 103.3 Asheville FM

First up, we checked back in with folks involved in the struggle to block the Mountain Valley Pipeline, a 303 mile so-called natural gas pipeline proposed to bring fracked gas from the Marcellus and Utica shale formations across parts of West Virginia and Virginia with an extension into North Carolina. Since a chat with activists we had in July, there have been nearly weekly actions to block the expansion of the pipeline across waterways and carsed terraine, endangering water tables and ecosystems around central Appalachia. For the hour we talk about this proposed project, the damage that’s been done and continues to be spread, the increasing belligerence of the men employed in the destruction and the ramping up legal repression facing activists and community members.
