Good To Go Ambassador

Help boost participation in the 2012 Commuter Challenge.

carsharingWe're trying to double the number of people who for just one week during the Commuter Challenge (May 12-18) park the car and get around using a bike or bus or by carpooling or vanpooling. Really, anything counts as long as you're not driving in a car by yourself. Ambassadors will work to increase awareness and boost registration and participation in the Challenge at their workplace or organization. Do you have what it takes? Find out and if you're game, contact Mike McCurdy.

American Routes

What's one of the best shows you've never heard? American Routes on GLT.

American RoutesEvery Sunday at 6 PM GLT airs what many of us at the station think is among our very best offerings, American Routes. Produced in New Orleans and hosted by Nick Spitzer, American Routes offers the broadest range of American music imaginable: blues and jazz, gospel and soul, old-time country and rockabilly, Cajun and zydeco, Tejano and Latin, roots rock and pop, avant-garde and classical. Spitzer uses artist interviews, live performances and a treasure chest of recordings to explore the shared musical and cultural threads in these American styles and genres. This show is well worth your time. Give it a try.
