WRFA-LP

And more importantly, we don't think it had enough of an audience.

And that is a four-part radio documentary series called Can't Ignore the Train that was initially made for WRFA 1079 in Jamestown.

And it also included a fifth, if you will, bonus segment episode that was a live Q&A that our guest today actually was the Q&A leader for that discussion too.

So it felt very important to not only launch this whole new podcast series with that well-made documentary, but also frame it so that you know what the plan will be as we go into this series.

And so finding the funding to really expand what that footage could look like, time, more crew members, equipment was the next step in the biggest challenge.

So in 2022, when Aaron and I moved back to Jamestown, New York, where I'm from and where the band is headquartered, we started working on the archives.

And during that archival inventory organization process, we were approached by the local radio station, WRFA, the Radio for the Arts, about making the early part of the band's history a radio series.

we thought this could be a really fabulous way to record some of these interviews, fund some of the purchase of the equipment and the content and the recording, um, and then make it into an audio only documentary that at some point could be transferred, uh, after we find more funding to a video documentary.
