A DECADE ON THE AIR!

Since 2014, Hoot 'N Howl is XRAY FM's original oldies radio show! Tune in every Sunday for real, rare, and rockin' vinyl of the 1940's thru late 1960's in a cross genre blend of scratchy classics and hidden gems! 

It's a dream come true to be on the air and sharing my favorite music with you on XRAY FM.  I honestly can't believe it's been an entire decade but here we are, still making radio.   XRAY wouldnt be possible without the dedicated work of volunteers and the support of listeners like you! So please, show your love for Hoot 'N Howl by donating to this page and helping me reach my fundraising goals.   Thanks for listening!

Cheers!

Here is a photo of me on the air in 2014!

10 years ago, they said our dreams were too big, that we didn't understand how near-impossible our goals were. We understood--and a decade later we've defied the odds. 

But the media industry hasn't been so lucky:

• Local news budgets? Slashed, if they even still exist.
• Musicians? Forget album sales, streaming took over and their share of the royalty pie got even smaller.
• Local media you can trust? Only if your too-loud uncle on Facebook counts, because social media conglomerates have overtaken them. Of course coming with a side of selling your data and ads that follow you around because you once clicked on a cool pair of shoes.
• The traditional media still kicking? They’re either barely hanging on or they’ve had to switch focus to our nationwide dumpster fire just to survive.

But the need to connect to each other—to understand what’s actually happening in our community— that never went away. If anything, it’s only become more important.

So join us in making space for the people of Portland to be heard. And this time around? We're gonna make it permanent.
