Woodstock Roundtable

Doug Grunther

Join host Doug Grunther and his co-hosts for a rollicking, fun, and provocative ride through the cultural zeitgeist. Spiced with humor and informed by over 35 years as Woodstock’s premier talk show host, Doug combines his love of philosophy, depth psychology, and spiritual insight in this hour of engaging talk about where we are and where we might be going as the 21st Century unfolds. Joining Doug every week as co-host and music adviser is Radio Woodstock’s weekend personality, Ron Van Warmer; and every other week critically acclaimed poet and saucy social critic, Victoria Sullivan adds her sharp-edged wit.
