Today's show features a taste of the Glasgow indie music scene, along with other random tracks, including this week's Super Bowl halftime performer Bad Bunny.

The first hour of our show today is a tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr's legacy of peace and justice in the world. The 1964 Nobel Peace Prize recipient is the only non-president to to remembered with a national holiday. In addition to excerpts from Dr. King's speeches, all music during the first hour will celebrate peace and freedom. Thanks for listening.

As of today, the US Council on Foreign Relations is tracking 28 conflicts around the world. A fact that most Americans are unaware of with the news focused on the horrific situation in Ukraine, and now the shocking and spiraling developments in Venezuela. With world edging ever closer to potential clashes between superpowers, this show is dedicated to the promotion of PEACE. Every song this hour is, in one way or another, anti-war and pro-peace. "B" Safe, Randy.

For an early start to your New Year's Eve celebrations, we offer an eclectic collection of songs reminiscent of the year just past and in (hopefully) hopeful anticipation of what is to come in 2026. From all of us at WBOR, celebrate responsibly and "B" SAFE!
