According to the Cambridge Dictionary, collaborating is working with someone else for a special purpose. Working together tends to bring about the best results, and it’s how the public radio model works — as a partnership between the station and you.

When you become a member of The Current, it helps you feel more connected to everything going on at the station AND to the music you love. Let’s highlight the beauty and benefits of working together with music!

So for today’s 9:30 Coffee Break, what songs from artists or bands who have collaborated would you like to hear?
