Plain A.I.R. (January 2021): Current Temperature by Hilarey Cowan

The Plain A.I.R. artist-in-residence this month is Hilarey Cowan, presenting Current Temperature. Current Temperature is an audio experiment in calming informational services. Stemming from a long-held interest in (automatic) weather broadcasting and in response to rapid growth in ASMR (autonomous sensory meridian response) content over recent years, this hour of radio aims to intertwine these typically discrete types of service.

Tune in every Saturday in January from 3-4pm to listen or head over at CJTR.ca after the broadcast for the show archive.
