Spring! Flowers, leaves, butterflies and bees, showers, mud, cleaning, income tax.
It’s a mixed bag of things you love and things you maybe don’t but they’ve got to be done.

2021 will be like that.

On one hand we have the very fact that we live on one of the few bodies in space that supports life as we know it, what luck!
On the other hand we have leaders who cannot see past the next election, let alone care whether they are fostering the destruction of life as we know it.
At theworkfm we may bring you news of people being short sighted,
But we will follow it with people caring and overcoming human vulnerabilities to solve problems.

Most media follow the formula of stirring up fear and anger to keep people’s attention because their real purpose is to sell ads and keep people coming back for more.

At theworkfm our work is to help, you so we get right to the point.
We deliver ideas to you that help you create a good life, narratives that keep life in focus and stories that remind us all that we can get it right, live a good life and include the kids, and others so they can too.
We don’t do commercial music since other stations are already doing it very well.
We don’t do sports since our sport or game is improving the fit between humans and life on the planet.

We tell your story, or your friends story, or you’re just happy to hear is possible, somewhere.

We are all on the same human journey.
If we are missing your story join us so you can tell it.
And don’t forget that we have bills to pay so send us something when you can. In the past folks have donated campers, cell phones, computers, furniture, water, food and dollars.

But your time is what we really want. whether you are listening, or hosting a show gathering news, or bringing water for the crew, volunteering at an event or working on a committee you are part of our community and we are Community Radio.

Please join us, and help us keep the The Dominion free from distraction, duplicity and domination.

Ron/Producer theworkfm 93.9 Midlothian, Virginia

Listen to Reverend Billy Radio every Sunday at 1pm exclusively on WRWK. Billy is the pastor of “The Church of Stop Shopping” in New York City. Although his church has tens of thousands of members, Billy is “a preacher with an unknown god”. He is not Christian, but wears a priest’s collar and televangelist’s hair. His followers shout “Earthalujah!” and “Change-a-lujah!” on the sidewalks. He started the show while locked down in NY, with death raining down on the skyscrapers. He likes to stop preaching suddenly and play music. In his show, “The Fiery Eagles of Justice”, a jazz trio that is hard to fathom, and “The Stop Shopping Choir” a 35 voice chorus of trespassing activists – help the reverend slide into his next sermonette. Proud part of Pantheon – the podcast network for music lovers.

Radio Hat! Imagine that!
But what if those two tubes start singeing your scalp? The good news is that you don’t need a Radio Hat to tune in to WRWK 93.9FM TheWorkFM – a regular radio or a smart phone will do even better with no risk of searing your skull. Just tune in on your car or home radio or find this website on your smart phone browser and click on the red “Listen Live Now” button to the right. And don’t forget to stay tuned for our next multi-band fundraiser at RICK’S ROCK CAFE coming the day before Halloween.

NPR: Mail-in Voting Rules by State – And the Deadlines You Need

We had a very successful fundraiser on the 26th, last Saturday.

About 75 people showed up to check out the 5 Bands and the last band played till nearly 12:00.

The bands ran the gamut from South American Latin Folk to a band that featured covers from the Pink Floyd.

All bands were local and most bands were interiewed after their set to learn their connection to the community and to Rick’s Rock Cafe and WRWK-theworkfm community Radio.

Covid19 has reshaped our social habits but it was good to see this much community was still possible with social distancing and masks of course.

We raised just shy of $300, made lots of friends and met the bands we will no doubt be working with for some time to come.

Our Third Anniversary fund raiser in August was a success!

A sincere THANK YOU to all who participated: volunteers, listeners, new and old. And we offer a special thanks to the anonymous donor who put up the matching funds and got us off to a fast start.

TheWorkFM really is a community station totally staffed by volunteer hosts, writers, those in the background who keep the station on the air, pay the bills and find and fix the equipment. And let’s not forget the hours that go into finding and developing talent, helping with production, operating the mix board etc. These tireless efforts help us to multiply our voice from it’s original FM signal to Internet Streaming, Facebook Live, YouTube, and soon even more social media.

Our mission is to build community, largely by presenting the parts that work and knitting them together along with the many other community organizations, social networks, churches, clubs an other interest groups that give people a chance to be socially creative and work to amplify the voices and ideas that have been held back or starved for resources, attention, validation, or simply neglected.

Soon you will be hearing more on our next fundraiser and Local Music Showcase to be held at Rick’s Rock Cafe at 1500 Eastridge Road on the 26th of September at 8PM. There will be an affordable $5 cover for a program featuring 5 local bands, hopefully comedians, possibly a jazz singer and some Slam Poetry.

Currently the music lineup is: Serenata, Freddie C. and the Happy Days Band, the Blue River Boys and Lucid.

It will be a lot of fun and will help TheWorkFM expand into offering some entertainment at our fundraisers.

The entire event will be livecast on YouTube and Facebook live and streamed and broadcast as possible (avoiding ASCAP and BMI protected music of course!).

So thanks to all for your help with our Third Anniversary fundraiser, and we hope you’ll join us for the next one! And all toward building community of course, building a bridge from city to county, left to right, across all the divides that are keeping us from being a healthy, functional society.
