RADIO SHEROES BEST OF 2023

ABOUT this week’s radio hour:

In November, we celebrated our 3rd anniversary and invited back some of our SHEROES interview guests to curate the playlist for our anniversary show. And since SHEROES Radio showcases not only the music makers, but is also a space to uplift the still under-represented voices of female and gender expansive radio hosts, each week we close the hour by inviting a DJ from one of our affiliates, aka a “Radio SHERO”, to guest DJ a song. It's in that spirit that we close 2023, by bringing together many of those DJ’s to share their favorites of the year.

Ladiniva - “Shakar” (Margot Chobanian, KUNC, The Colorado Sound, Fort Collins-Denver, CO)
