We’re excited to announce Casey Brown as a reader for our next edition of the First Time at Martyrs' on June 10th!

Brown (Ho-Chunk) is an Emmy Award-winning filmmaker, American Indian activist, and comedian. In 2025, Melissa Etheridge opened for Casey—while the whole story is more complex, both parties agree that this statement is accurate.

Tickets are available at firsttime.chirpradio.org. Thanks to our show sponsor, No Wristbands, for their generous support.
