November 25, 2020

You might not travel far for your Thanksgiving dinner this year — if at all — but you can still climb aboard The Current's time machine! Starting Wednesday at 10 a.m. and continuing all weekend long, it's Time Machine Weekend.

We'll set the dials back and take a trip to a new year of music each hour. Bake your pumpkin pie in 1986. Set the table in 1992. Zoom with your relatives in 1975. And drop into that peaceful tryptophan daze in 1969.

Throughout the weekend, we'll venture back to different eras during Teenage Kicks, Radio Free Current, United States of Americana, The Local Show and the Duluth Local Show. See the full schedule below.

The Current's Time Machine Weekend is supported by Catholic Charities of Saint Paul and Minneapolis and by AARP Minnesota.
