Our gracious host, Henry Ford College, will have a planned power outage for some maintenance work on Friday May 20th. This will likely have us off the air until at least 6 PM that day.

We apologize for the inconvenience and will return to regular programming as soon as we are able.

Thank you for your patience on Friday.

Tune in to the WHFR Journal tomorrow (Friday) May 13th at 1 p.m. as we welcome our special guest HFC president Russell Kavalhuna.

Yep! The rumors are true. Hotwax Radio will be broadcasting every Monday - 10:00 am to Noon starting May 16th. Start your week right, with a slab of wax to satisfy your musical appetite for some fave-rave, obscure, funny ‘n’ freaky, bizarre smorgasbord of audio waves served by the one and only White Rabbit here on the station that making waves!

Scott and Suzanne Ramsey are the foremost researchers into the Aztec UFO Incident, having worked on the story since 1987, discovering archives and pursuing interviews throughout the U.S. They are joined by their co-author, Frank Thayer, Ph.D., to discuss their book “The Aztec UFO Incident”.

Happy Earth Day from your friends at WHFR Radio. To celebrate, please listen to the WHFR Journal today at 1pm when we'll chat with Marie McCormick, Executive Director of Friends of the Rouge. Marie will share insights into the ongoing Rouge clean-up efforts and ways we can get involved in making our Rouge River (and our world) a cleaner, safer, and more sustainable place for ALL humans (and all the flora and fauna, too). We'll then hear a powerful story from PRX: Fugitive Waves: Cry Me a River: A story of three pioneering river activists and the damming of wild rivers in the west.
