Over 200 years ago, a mysterious sea serpent made waves in Gloucester Harbor—literally! 🐍🌊 The townsfolk watched in awe as the creature swam, splashed, and played right before their eyes. 👀 It’s one of the most well-documented sea serpent sightings in history, but the question remains… what exactly was it? 🤔

Goodbyes are so hard…

The time has come for us to say goodbye to Kate Re*****on and thank her for all the years of carefully selected and warmly presented music. She and her husband Dick Roberts have chosen to retire in Oregon, close to their son Sam. We are deeply grateful for Kate’s contributions to our daily lives (and serenity!) and wish her lots of happiness, good health and beautiful Pacific Northwest landscapes.

Kate’s last show will be Friday, August 30th. You’ll hear lots more from Kate as she hosts the final days of her program and reminisces about her time here at WSHU.
