Planet Philadelphia Environmental radio show Live 4-5 pm 1st and 3rd Fridays Streaming on GTown Radio: http://www.gtownradio.com/ On the radio dial in NW Philadelphia: WGGT 92.9 low power FM www.planetphiladelphia.com | www.gtownradio.com facebook | @planetphila | @gtownradio July 22, 2017 - This is a bit of a different approach I’m trying out for Planet Philadelphia. Instead of doing one big file with the podcast of the whole show, I thought I’d do the individual interviews that were slated to broadcast yesterday. This way of posting the sound files let’s people listen to each individual interview. It also is a way of apologizing for the strange tech problems that occurred during yesterday’s show. I'd hate for people to miss these inspiring and informative interviews. Thank you for your interest in and support for Planet Philadelphia, the radio show about our environment on our wonderful local radio station, GTown Radio. Stay cool folks, Kay Wood Planet Philadelphia Producer and Host
