Night Listeners-Meant to post this the morning before the anniversary show but I misplaced the thumb drive that this show on it. Iowa Basement Tapes started on 98.9 KFMG here in Des Moines. We have had the same time slot since since 2018: 9PM Thursdays. We have since syndicated out west with Siouxland Public Media on KWIT in Sioux City and KOJI in Okoboji.Station Manager Gary has been occasional co-host over the years and was the first person to believe in what this show could be.  Thank you to all of you who have supported this show over the years. I don't see a time in the future that this show will ever stop. I might stop because I am only mortal. But somethings become bigger than ourselves.PS I realize it's ACTUALLY the show's 7th anniversary and not the 6th. But I already deep into saying it was our 6th and just rolled with it.
