It has been a rough year for so many of us, and yet there is much for which we can be thankful. In that spirit, WBCQ The Planet, courtesy of time donated by Allan and Angela Weiner, will present A WBCQ Thanksgiving. This very special broadcast will present a radio play, music and some old time radio nuggets. Marion’s Attic and Uncle Bill’s Melting Pot will present music for the occasion, we will have a short play, The beHAVior Night Players Tell The Thanksgiving Story, and The Lumpy Gravy Radio Show will serve up some music and spoken word content from both Area 51 and Area 61.
