On WestSouthwest, a rebroadcast of an interview with a former general manager. Plus we sit down with the man who just started the job.

WMUK is marking 65 years of broadcasting this year. Back in May, we sat down with former General Manager Garrard Macleod to discuss much of that history. 

In addition to celebrating a milestone, there have been major changes at the station this year. That includes a new general manager. We talk with Stephen Williams about how he came to WMUK.
