We'll hear a soulful tribute to mothers from The Suffers, plus new music from Trinidad-born, London-based poet Anthony Joseph, we'll spin the latest single from the Athens of the North label ("Today is the Day" by Frazelle), and hear beautifully atmospheric reworkings of Penobscot chants by Jason K. Brown.
