The event, which was broadcast live on Radio Kingston and Facebook, was a fundraiser for Planned Parenthood Mid-Hudson Valley. Special thanks to Jimmy Buff and Kale Kaposhilin of Radio Woodstock, Aaron Rezny for hosting the event in his studio, and Chronogram reader Jude Asphar, who suggested the theme for the event.
