Tune in during the 4 p.m. hour for another edition of "Shaker Show" with staff from Shaker Museum live from the Catskill studio. For this broadcast, the focus is on farming and seed packets. In celebration of the spring growing season, "Shaker Show" will take a deep dive into the Shakers’ garden seed and medicinal herb businesses. At the peak of their production in the 1800s, the Shakers were known internationally for these industries, just as much as they were known for their chair making. They were pioneers in both areas. And, as this is May Day, we will also discuss the Shakers’ support of unions and fair labor practices.

Then during the 5 p.m. hour, Mike Amari and Liam Singer join live in the studio for another edition of "The Month Ahead with Chosen Family Zine". Sarah Van Buren also joins to contribute the "Rave Report" and talk about the upcoming 24-HOUR DRONE event at Basilica Hudson. Mike Amari is an event organizer for Opus 40, Basilica, and others. Liam Singer is the owner of The Avalon Lounge in Catskill, NY and a member of Wave Farm's Board of Directors.
