Thursday nights if you happen across Off Square Books you’ll find people sitting amongst the books. They’re listening to the radio🎙voice of Jim Dees, the sounds of Yalobushwhackers🎶 & an array of author readings & musical guests. This is Thacker Mountain Radio Hour. Each week the feature guests change, but this unique live radio show- now in its 22nd year- is an Oxford staple.
