Over the past six months, Adam and I have been fortunate to start a relationship with our local public radio station(not affiliated with NPR). Currently, we do between 1/2 hour and 1 hour one day a week…the third Wednesday of each month between Noon-1 PM Mountain Time.
In honor of Valentine’s Day, we are not doing a live show tonight so we can spend it with our wives/families. We will return next Thursday night here at HelpMeRick.com, AND next Wednesday at Noon on KAFM Radio 88.1 FM in Grand Junction, CO simulcast on their web site.
We hope you all had a good Valentine’s Day!
