Sat. 10/24 10p: In celebration of KUNM's 54th birthday, join The Doctor on an unforgettable trip back in time to the underground birthplace of KUNM. Host Scott MacNicholl will guide you on this journey through the psychedelic cavern of KUNM's old studios in the Student Union Building basement. Showcasing the sounds of the late 1960s and early 1970s, KUNM: Up Against the Wall FM will feature rare KUNM tape of the era and exclusive interviews with station veterans. Production assistance by John Cline, Kent Paterson, Mercedes Mejia, Jonathan Longcore and Marty Adams Smith.

This program is dedicated to the memory of Ernie "Flash" Gilbert, former DJ and key architect of KUNM's Underground FM sound, who passed away this year.
