We have a loaded show for you today! At 5, we’ll be speaking with some representatives from NC State’s student government. Then, we’ll have Sarah from Saving Space Showcase. Saving Space is a monthly series that hosts concerts at venues throughout the Triangle that are recognized safe spaces. The shows feature local musicians and DJs who identify as female, non-binary, queer, or POC, and all profits go to various nonprofit organizations.

Tune in from 5-7pm, tonight and every Monday!
