This week’s 95.5 FM Hot Seat: Media Monday with Ron Klopfanstein on 95.5 FM The Heat 🔥 is now streaming!
From neon lights and dance floors to history, health, and human rights — this episode covers it all.
We take you inside the Electric Garden Dance Party at 16 Stone Brew Pub, where Cleo Qupid is building something special for the Mohawk Valley nightlife scene — and proving that yes, radio still brings people out. 👍😎
In the studio, we meet Cotton Candy the Clown and Roz Shue (aka Noodles/Willow), who show how performance, humor, and creativity can connect people across generations in ways you might not expect.
We also sit down with author J.N. Cheney to explore the powerful story of immigrant women who stood up to brutal working conditions during the 1912–1913 Little Falls textile strike — a piece of local history that still echoes today.
Plus, we’re on the ground at a Trans Rights Rally in Utica, where community members speak candidly about visibility, healthcare, and the right to simply exist.
And we stop by the Roots & Culture Cafe, where Chef Kim Crooms shows how healthy eating can be simple, affordable, and community-driven.
