Welcome to Suga in My Bowl radio‘s weekly feature, On The Bandstand, where we collect upcoming NYC area shows from current and past Suga’ guests. We’re online weekly and on the air on NYC’s WBAI-FM radio alternate Sunday nights from 11 PM -1 AM.

This week’s show features Jon Else, author of the book True South: Henry Hampton and Eyes on the Prize. You can see him at the Brooklyn Museum on February 25 as part of a panel discussion on the Eyes on the Prize series. WBAI Radio’s starting its Winter Fund Drive and we need your help to support the station. You can call 516-620-3602 while we’re on air or pledge online for as little as $5. A $25 pledge gets you a year’s membership in the station or consider a monthly donation which gets you station membership as a WBAI Buddy with additional benefits. We also have a few autographed copies available of Jon Else’s book as a thank you gift for a $35 donation which includes a year’s station membership along with the book.
