This week on Maine Points, we welcome A.J. Jones, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran and Veteran Peer Specialist with Easterseals Maine, to discuss Veterans Forward and its mission to support Maine veterans and their families.
We’ll explore the challenges veterans face when returning to civilian life, the importance of peer-to-peer support, and how Veterans Forward connects veterans with critical resources.
We’ll also look ahead to NewsRadio WGAN’s Make 12 Hours Count Radiothon on Thursday, October 15, benefiting Veterans Forward, a program of Easterseals Maine.
To close out our political coverage of this year’s elections, we welcome independent candidate Rick Bennet into the studio to explain why he, as a former Republican, is running as an independent candidate and how he could make the best changes to the way politics work in Augusta.
The phones are open for the final hour of today’s show. Being the last show before Election Day, the phones are quite busy! If you missed your chance to chime in on today’s show, Shawn Moody will be hosting next week and he will be more than happy to take your calls regarding your take on the results of the election. Happy Halloween, and stay safe!
Legacy Recordings on Friday is releasing "Britney (25th Anniversary Edition)," an expanded reissue of her pivotal record, which went quadruple platinum in less than two months. The collection features two remixes and five previously unreleased songs from that era, her first new (or is it old?) music since she announced she would "never return to the music industry" in a 2024 Instagram post.
