Wild Leek River is a 5-piece country band from Northern Vermont. Their style and performances trace roots from the honky tonks of days gone by, with rowdy shows across Vermont and throughout the Northeast. Good music, buttery vocals - this is a perfect Friday night to work on a two-step with your buddy, or put the dogs up on a hay bale and catch up with a neighbor. Rain or shine, baby! Come out!

The Catered Financials Podcast
Today’s listener question is the everything bagel of financial questions. They asked: What other tools complement a Roth IRA, how should I factor in Social Security, and where should money go if it’s for the 5-10 year time frame?

Kira Gets Real… Estate Podcast
In this episode of Kira Gets Real… Estate, Kira answers real questions from real people — and tells the truth about situations most agents gloss over.
What happens if you list your house… and then realize you don’t actually want to sell? Can you just pull it off the market? What if the appraisal comes in low and blows up the deal? Who has options — the buyer, the seller, or the bank?
Kira walks through these common (and stressful) scenarios in plain English, including:
What it really means to withdraw a listing
How low appraisals affect buyers and sellers
Why seller concessions can complicate everything
When buyers can (and can’t) make up an appraisal gap
Why cash — yes, actual cash — can derail a mortgage
She also steps outside of pure real estate to talk honestly about juggling a demanding career with family life, using her favorite “glass balls vs. rubber balls” analogy to explain how priorities actually work in the real world.
For agents, Kira shares her unfiltered take on building a sustainable business (spoiler: it’s not quick, and it’s not transactional), plus a few hard-earned lessons that can save everyone some awkward moments.
If you’re buying, selling, working in real estate, or just trying to make sense of the chaos — this episode is for you.
Thank you immensely to the Essex County Arts Council for granting us this year’s CAP Grant. With this grant, we will fund 5 artists who will produce their own original radio art program. Using the airwaves as a creative medium, you’ll be able to experiment with found-sound, music, talk, and whatever other audio you want to incorporate.
If you are interested in being considered for this project, email wavgradio@gmail.com with your name, number, and a couple of sentences about what kind of show you’d like to produce.
We’ve got one more session of recording the Declaration of Independence. If you want to add your voice to the recording of this historical document, join us on Saturday, June 20th from 930am - 1015am at the radio station studio.
We’ve had a great turn-out so far and it takes about 5 minutes in total from getting through the door to finishing the recording.
So… come on down :)
Talk soon,
-Nico
