Joy is an emotion of great happiness.and I am glad to cease the strike . The Paris of the South is officially back on the air
.Yes , the strike is over , volunteerism is , once again, the highlight of our station . We are ready to hear your creative part .
Come on in ! Step by step we will build up the most representative station in our region . You can’t get bored tuning to 103.5 fm . Our station is and will be , more deeply, the central cross meeting place of the world interests . Asheville is unique , and each of our program is unique.
You like this station because you , like me, are fighting this invisible submissive glue , this voice inside your head that always pull you away from being yourselves . That small fear that impeach every path you take to pure joy and hapiness . You don’t want to be a small player in life isn’t ?
life is too short to be a ninkenpoop and full of it …
Are we ready ? yes!
A community radio mean that we all share something in common : first the passion to communicate . Some of us are better than other to communicate , some of us want to use this marvrelous tool to share knowledge , ideas and passion, other want just to feel that they are not alone. It’s fine too isn’t ?
So to celebrate this new start , i did choose the best of pure joy . From passioned songs to real explosion of life , I want to celebrate this date and share with you my dear listeners the best of joy .
Sorry !

The Lodge
There have been a lot of inquiries about what effect WPVM’s changing management and changing relationship to MAIN will have on the Ooze Out Program’s extensive travel budget. Do not be concerned. Before moving forward on their paths, both parties made sure that the Ooze Out Program could go where we need to go (Thanks Jason!, Thanks Wally!). As a result of these efforts and generous grant from our sister station WPVJ(apan), we will be broadcasting live from Transylvania County NC in honor of the Fall Solstice and All Hallows Eve, for the entire month of October. That’s right, we will be broadcasting analog from a secret location . Tonight we are securing the last of the special broadcast equiptment, a series of cardboard tubes, webs and jems, at the lodge. While we’re away you can enjoy an encore broadcast of our August 19th 2008 episode filled with heavy underground tape sessions. This show features Byron Browne, Ooze Out correspondent for the Five Points region of Asheville. Hear more from Byron and meet the newest member of the Ooze family, Shaggy the Ooze Out Intern, during our month long Ooze Out Halloween Party, filled with surprises and spooky underground sounds.
My very best to you,
Peter H. Poffenberger

Veronika will interview Veronica Butcher about green jobs in WNC. Check out the local Green Jobs Now! here.
Local author Mike Hopping will walk us through the details of the monstrous federal bailout of Wall Street currently being discussed in Congress. $1 trillion seems to be the low-ball estimate at this point, more than has been spent on the war/occupation of Iraq. Check out an interesting article in Harpers magazine here.
Read the draft bill here.
Barry and David will muse on the Polls, the economic Picture, and the many foreign Policy successes of the Bush Administration, and how they can all be looked at as one Pile of…well, you get the idea.
