Two Times to Hear 'Two Rivers, 30 Minutes'

I am happy to report that our weekly talk show about the Mon Valley, "Two Rivers, 30 Minutes," is now airing on Braddock's WZUM (1550) at 8 a.m. Sundays.

So if you miss the program at 9:30 a.m. Friday on McKeesport's WEDO (810), you can catch the replay on the "heart and soul of Pittsburgh," WZUM.

Our guest this week will be Sabina Bushra, founder and executive director of the Partnership for Minority HIV/AIDS Prevention.

We'll be talking about an upcoming event at 1 p.m. June 27 at Zion Baptist Church at the corner of 13th Avenue and Locust Street in McKeesport, where you can get free confidential information about HIV testing and prevention for yourself or a loved one. Guest speakers at that event will include WPXI-TV weekend anchor Brittney McGraw, McKeesport native and women's health expert Dr. Sherida Williams.

If you can't listen to the radio during those times, you can also subscribe to the show as a free podcast at Stitcher or iTunes.

Incidentally: If you would be interested in sponsoring the show, we could definitely use some donations to offset the costs of producing and distributing the program.

Please email me at tubecitytiger@gmail.com, and thanks for supporting independent, public media in the Mon Valley.
