Funkscribe Fridays

The funk is coming!

Friday April 3rd, KBCS is excited to welcome back DJ Funkscribe returning to the KBCS Airwaves for a new Funkscribe Fridays! 9pm to 11pm  
Tune in and get a dose of the FUNK you need!

Funkscribe Fridays is a weekly vinyl-driven radio show celebrating funk, soul, disco, afrobeat, jazz, cumbia, hiphop, new wave, reggae, and international grooves from across the globe. Curated and mixed entirely on wax, the show draws from DJ Funkscribe’s personal record collection—years in the making and shaped by digging trips, crate finds, and dance floors worldwide.

With an ear for rhythm, history, and movement, Funkscribe Fridays connects classic cuts with overlooked gems and global rarities, spotlighting the shared pulse that links scenes across continents. DJ Funkscribe has travelled, DJ’d, & dug for records across India, Cuba, Japan, France, Thailand, Mexico, Peru, Korea, and beyond.

After previously co-hosting a show with DJ Megabhuti on KBCS for over a decade, DJ Funkscribe returns triumphantly to the airwaves—bringing the heat, the stories, the heritage, and the groove back where it belongs.

🌀 9–11pm | 91.3 FM KBCS

The Media Project

The “Media Project” is an inside look at media coverage of current events, featuring veterans of Capital District news coverage, including former Times Union Editor Rex Smith, Daily Freeman Publisher Emeritus Ira Fusfeld, former Daily Gazette editor Judy Patrick, and the former editor of The Saratogian, Barbara Lombardo, as well as Ian Pickus and David Guistina of Northeast Public Radio.

The panel explores how the news media covers the issues of the day, challenges facing the industry, and whether journalists are meeting the ethical standards we expect. It’s a half-hour of lively conversation that you won’t want to miss if you care about how the news media is performing its essential task in our democracy.

WINGS: Women International News Gathering Service

91.3 KBCS WINGS News: Women’s International News Gathering Service has been covering the global women’s movement and related issues for community radio worldwide since 1986.

The image is a banner for WINGS (Women’s International News Gathering Service). It features an artistic depiction of a woman with wings, symbolizing the goddess Nike. The woman is shown in black and white against a textured blue and teal background, giving the image a vintage, yet powerful feel.

In the top left corner, the text reads, “Raising Women’s Voices Through Radio Worldwide” in a handwritten-style font. On the right side of the image, the acronym “WINGS” is displayed in large, bold, white letters. Below it, the full name, “Women’s International News Gathering Service,” is written in a smaller, script-like font.

The overall design conveys a sense of strength, movement, and global outreach, aligning with the mission of WINGS to amplify women’s voices through radio.
