Heroes Beneath the Waves Interview

Liberty Watch Radio , Charles Keller .

From Joel Greenberg -- Upcoming Radio Interview About Submarines and Submariners

Hi All:

On Sunday, April 8, 2018 Mary Nida Smith (author of HEROES BENEATH the WAVES) and I will be on our Tucson radio station KVOI, AM 1030, a Salem Radio Network station, noon local time.  We do not go to "Savings Time" here so it is equivalent to noon Pacific Daylight Time.  There is no top-of-the-hour news so tune in early.

We will be celebrating April 11th's 118 year birthday of our U.S. Submarine Service.

It is a one hour show titled America Armed and Free hosted by Charles Heller.  You can find KVOI's web-site (kvoi.com), click listen live and stream it live, or go to libertywatchradio.com, go to the current shows, locate it and download or stream it from there (sometime after the show gets uploaded to the web).

Listen live and call in if you would like.  (520) 790-2040.  Tell others about this program.
