The Flower Power Hour, hosted Tuesdays 2pm-3pm by Aaron Schmidtke, is designed to give a platform for artists that are underrepresented, underappreciated or even underplayed. While the primary focus of the Flower Power Hour is to play quality music to ease listeners into their afternoons, it is also to educate them on these artists played.
