WKXL - New Hampshire Talk Radio

There is no shortage of theater productions happening right now in NH. This state is practically bursting with talent and productions that are having audiences rave about them. NH Unscripted is a proud supporter of the entertainment scene here and with the season now upon us it’s time to talk about them. Playhouses mentioned in this episode: The Ogunquit Playhouse, The Winni Playhouse, Interlakes Theater, The Peterborough Players, Powerhouse Theatre Collaborative, The Palace Theater. And we touch on upcoming fall (aka haunted) shows. Toss some songs and we’ve got a show!

Veronica runs a solo discussion today, and she brings some thoughtful dialogue regarding we as a society and our relationship with technology, and how it can effect our wellness.

Monday’s program was a sports oriented one with our correspondent John Leahy and aspiring broadcaster Luke Goldberg of Merrimack, New Hampshire. As a freshman at Quinnipiac University, Luke had the opportunity to call several men’s varsity hockey games under head coach and New Hampshire native Rand Pecknold.

It’s that time of year again. Summer movies and Saturday morning cartoons. Enter stage right: Daniel Siletti and behind the glass with added commentary is Andrew Gibson. We had a blast talking about upcoming summer movies that we’re anticipating and cover some favorite Saturday morning cartoons. And being the geeks we are, a lot of trivia and little known facts get dropped along the way. So much fun.

Thursday’s show featured Academy Award winning author Ernest Thompson of “On Golden Pond Fame”. We talked with Ernest in studio about his most recent awards and his new book “Out Clause”. We were also joined by New Hampshire Fisher Cats General Manager Taylor Fisher who brought us up to date on the debut of Banana Ball tonight in the Granite State and the upcoming FisherCats homestand which begins on Tuesday.

Right now I don’t think there’s a hotter spot that you want to be seen at than Arts Alley in downtown Concord. More specifically you want to make the scenes at the Rooftop Social (“…where elevated vibes meet skyline sips…” and the Courtyard “…The Beating Heart of Arts Alley…". Arts Alley is almost a year old now, but, still remains pretty unknown to many folks. From activities like watching the FIFA matches to Hat Burning to lawn games, live music, weddings, business events to just hanging out this is becoming THE spot to be seen!

On todays show Veronica speaks with Chin-Sim Kang who is the only raindrop technique specialist in NH, and she talks about her background, her founding of Drops to Wellness, and her insight into the wellness field.

Tuesday’s program featured recent Merrimack Valley High School graduate Nicholas Gelinas who has been the public address and play by play voice of the Pride for the past four years. Nick will be a part of the All Alumni Reunion Festival next Saturday, June 27, at Merrimack Valley High School from 1-5 PM. Correspondent John Leahy also joined up to remember the amazing life of long time Boston sports talk show host Eddie Andelman who passed away over the weekend.
