Here’s another bonus episode of Rediscovered Radio for your listening pleasure, featuring a trip down Memory Lane with Suzanne Hopkins of the Hotmud Family. Co-host Jocelyn Robinson sat down with Suzanne to reminisce about her days in the band, including hosting the Country Music Jamboree at the Living Arts Center that WYSO broadcast live every Wednesday night, and to talk about Dayton’s rich Appalachian music legacy.

We want to dedicate this bonus episode to the memory of Rita Faye Johnson, who passed away April 10, 2024. Formerly Rita Faye Bingham, she hosted the Country Music Jamboree back in the day. Rest well, Rita Faye.
