World Beats

Due to exceptionally high work loads for Helena, World Beats will be airing previously aired shows in February and March. Please join us in April for all-new Beats from around the World!

Playlist for Sun, Dec 20, 2009 This is a longer show and runs about 2 1/2 hours. It will be broadcast again on Dec 27. (Well, once again technology defeated us and the show was cut short at 2 hours. We'll try and play the whole thing next week...just think, something to look forward to.)

Dec 6, 2009   We're going to try again! We've had so many issues with our new system which is why last week's show did not go out. We will try to rebroadcast the show from Nov 22 (below) since only a few songs made it on the air that day. The river was in full flood at the time, hence my comments at the start of the show. Have patience with us as we get our collective act together. I do have a nice Christmas show planned... I'll probably play it on the 20th.

Playlist for Sun, Nov 22, 2009 Due to glitches with the new system most of this show did NOT get broadcast. I'll play the rest of the show next week. Sorry for the inconvenience!
