As always, thank you for your financial support and for listening to Portsmouth Community Radio at 106.1 FM locally, streaming live at www.wscafm.org, or on your mobile device using the "Tunein" app.
And most of all, thanks for listening in!

| DJ/Volunteer Training at WSCA |
If you have an interest in music, news, radio engineering, live remote broadcast engineering, show production, or public affairs programming, WSCA wants you to get radio-active. We also have many opportunities for volunteers in off-air roles including marketing, fundraising,  administration, IT, social media, and new music review and management. The first step for all those wanting to get involved with WSCA is to attend a Module 1 which is the introduction to the station. After completion of Module 1, you will be ready to volunteer for many of the off-air and behind-the-scenes roles at WSCA. For those who want to continue on to do show production, become an on-air DJ/show host, or get involved with more technical roles at WSCA, Module 2 will cover station and FCC Policies. Module 3 covers operation of the equipment in studios A and B.
The next Module 1 and 2 training sessions will be offered on Monday, August 26th with Module 1 training from 6 to 7 p.m., followed by Module 2 training from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Module 3 training will be held on Monday, September 9th from 6 to 8 p.m.
Training sessions are held at the WSCA studios at 909 Islington Street. To register, email training@wscafm.org or call 603-430-9722. See our website for more information on WSCA volunteer opportunities and how to become an on-air show host.

Another Great Show and Benefit for WSCA!
|
Shades of Rust, featuring Tom Schena, is launching their first CD at The Music Hall Loft on September 7th with Tom Schena performing an acoustic set for long-time fans. The album was recorded before a live audience at 1130 ft. Studio with Chris Chase in Rollinsford, NH.
Shades of Rust is Tom Schena's full-bodied realization that good things  permeate out of people that genuinely care about offering something worth producing. Out of the attitude that good things can, and will come to good people. The uncertainty of success always lingers in any group of musicians' lives, but the assurance of crafting and conspiring over good music is very evident in this Shade of Rust. That is a certainty.
Shades of Rust is a 4-piece soul rock band from New England that creates music ranging from acoustic ballads to power rock anthems about the power of freedom and love to rise above the human condition. To buy tickets and see the video, click here! Support this terrific band and WSCA!

Dar Williams stopped by the WSCA studios on August 14th before her 4pm soundcheck at Prescott Park. James Kelly and Julien Aklei, the hosts of Familiar Voices, were able to spend some time catching up with her on air. Don't forget that all of our archives are available for listening for 14 days after airing, so if you missed this and love Dar Williams, go to our archive page.
Consciousness Rising is a new show at WSCA, airing every Sunday at 5-6 p.m. with host Peggy Brewster.
Peggy's show brings cutting-edge topics and guests to her show.  From the esoteric to the apparent, this is a show about consciousness and conscious choices in our everyday lives. Peggy will explore topics of our world and of reality itself to bring a new perspective or invite a deeper look into one's own beliefs. It's not about whether one agrees or disagrees, but whether it inspires further conversations and/or research.
Peggy has been a member of WSCA for many years and has recently stepped into the DJ role. Her background is in alternative healing arts, spiritual path of priestess and ordained clergy, art, and as an independent life scholar searching for the many meanings of life among the wide variety of teachings and research that reside outside the box. So step outside your box and tune in every Sunday for Consciousness Rising with Peggy Brewster from 5-6 p.m. Peggy welcomes your questions and suggestions at consciousnessrising@wscafm.org.
Our public affairs show archives don't expire and you can find them here.
