Late 2025 Broadcast Schedule for VORW Radio International!

 

Hello all! As some time has passed, I felt it appropriate to publish the latest schedule for my transmissions to North America and beyond!

My radio program is 1 Hour in length and features discussion (often about current events, other times about random subjects on my mind) at the start of the program and is then balanced out with listener requested music. I hope for it to be an enjoyable light entertainment program with good music and discussion!

There are two new shows each week, along with various repeat airings for listeners who might not be able to catch the new shows as they first air.
