Did you miss last night’s pledge drive episode? Then you missed out on some good times. But don’t despair; you can hear the archive right here:

TONIGHT! It's an all-new Highway of Heartaches, Pledge Drive Edition. Join Smelley and Owen as we throw some real country music your way and raise some cash for our mother ship, KWMR - West Marin Community Radio.

And look, we're not saying the scene pictured here will happen if you don't pledge any money to the station. But we're not saying it won't either.

But you can always just listen in and have some fun.

So either way, you can catch Highway of Heartaches tonight and every other Thursday night, from 8:30 - 10:00 Pacific Time, ONLY on KWMR radio in Marin County and livestreaming worldwide at kwmr.org!

And to pledge to KWMR online, you can do so at this link. You can even use PayPal or Venmo if you wish! They've been kind enough to let us do our thing on their airwaves for the last six years, so it's the least we could do: https://secure.qgiv.com/event/kwmrpledgedrive2026/team/997600/

Lastly, a big thanks to those of you who've pledged before our show even hits the air!

And a very cool anonymous donor

Thanks!

It's April, which means it's pledge drive time! KWMR used to do two pledge drives a year, now it's one supercharged hot rod of a pledge drive per year.

Federal funds for public broadcasting were cut dramatically in 2025, which means that KWMR lost 25% of its budget this year. 25%! So any help to make up that gap is muy appreciated.

The station has set a $1500 goal for Highway of Heartaches. A tall order, but we think we're up to it. If you can spare a few bucks, and you enjoy Smelley and Owen's show (which you DO!), please donate at the link below so we get credit, and KWMR management gives us plaudits! We like plaudits.

And if you do pledge, let us know, and S & O will praise you on the air! That's gotta be worth something, yes?

That's Highway of Heartaches, every other Thursday night (like tonight!), 8:30 - 10:00 Pacific Time, ONLY on KWMR Radio in Marin Country and livestreaming worldwide on kwmr.org!

HEY!! Did you miss last night's (Feb. 12) episode of Highway of Heartaches, with in-studio guest Jill Olson? Don't fret! You can listen to the archive here at your convenience:

It's TIME! If you ever saw a Red Meat show in the past, you'll remember the verbal jousting between bass player Jill Olson and frontman Smelley Kelley. Tonight, you'll have a chance to relive those glory days when Jill joins Smelley and Owen in the studio to spin her favorite records and engage us in the wittiest repartee. We're honing our skills now.

An audience member once approached Owen after a Red Meat show and asked, "Is that Jill and Smelley stuff scripted?" No, it ain't. And it won't be tonight either. Join us!

That's Highway of Heartaches, tonight from 8:30 - 10:00 Pacific Time, ONLY on KWMR Radio in Marin County, and livestreaming worldwide at kwmr.org!

Did you miss last week's Highway of Heartaches episode? Don't worry, we're not mad. Look at us, do we look mad? No, we don't, because we're not.

And we'll see you on the February 12 with a SUPER SPECIAL episode! Until then, it's a secret.

Our own Owen Bly will be spinning records for happy hour at Bar 355 tonight, 355 19th Street in downtown Oakland. He’s trying to figure out what to play, if Miki will let him, but it’ll feature a little country and a lot of other stuff too.
