“Conference of the Birds” is my weekly radio program on WNUR-FM. It airs on Tuesdays from 5-7:30 am Chicago time (UTC-5). And, of course, when technology cooperates, you can just come here for the archives.
Sometimes looking back at a show a theme emerges. Not this week. But there’s plenty of fun music. I went a little long while Stephen was navigating public transit, so my last track fades out.
