Modeled on the popular Relay for Life fundraiser, Shakespeare for Life uses the works of the Bard to give back to those in need.  It's a week-long, marathon reading of Shakespeare's plays culminating in a closing ceremony that honors the memory of loved ones lost to cancer.  Free Shakespeare's Chris Shea spoke with Kaleidoscope host Juliet Fromholt about how people can get involved in this signature event and what's coming up this summer from Free Shakespeare. 

On February 10, 2012, Rev Cool celebrated 30 years on the air at WYSO during a special edition of Around the Fringe.  Rev was joined in the studio by Andy Valeri, Niki Dakota and a numerous local musicians.  Throughout the evening longtime listeners and friends called in with their memories and well-wishes and Dayton's Free Shakespeare company was on-hand for dramatic readings of email memories.

All 4 hours of this special show are available to stream.
