BONUS: Changes are Coming to Auntie on Air
The Aunties are joining you on New Year’s Eve from their podcast studio in downtown Bangor, Maine! We are preparing to ring in 2025 and want to wish all our listeners a year filled with joy, abundance, and healing! Our team is excited to welcome you to a wonderful “in studio” New Year’s Eve celebration where the Aunties reflect on the previous year and share their wishes for the year to come, while remaining grateful to you, our listeners and our “Aunties on Air” guests! This episode, the Aunties and special guest, Cyril Francis will share a beautiful Passamaquoddy tradition that is often practiced during this special time of year. We are looking forward to joining us in the New Year, as we fill the studios calendar with guests from across Wabanaki Territory and beyond! Please continue to tune in as we enter the second half of Season 1 of Aunties on Air in 2025!
