As a local artist who discovered the power of community radio station WYCE-FM (88.1) several years ago — and its devotion to playing locally produced music — Thomasma not only started donating regularly to the listener-supported station, but has also hosted shows and filled in for programmers at times.
And, of course, he helps spreads the word during WYCE’s fund drives. That’s what brought him to Local Spins on WYCE, helping kick off the first day of the spring fund drive by chatting about the station, his music and performing a song on the air.
Listen to the podcast here, which includes the debut of a new song by Grand Rapids’ The Extra Texture, which releases its new studio album on April 9 at Founders Brewing.
