So if you have tuned in and you miss the show, I have been waiting for new information, but I can tell you that for now the radio station is closed and we are broadcasting archived programs. When the University closed due to Covid-19 we were all locked out as well. We hope to be back on the air, but many schools are not reopening in the Fall and we have not heard anything yet. I miss doing the show and am sorry there is no traditional Irish music program broadcsting in Cleveland now. Stay safe, stay home, maybe soon you can also listen to Sweeney Astray!
