KPTZ continues a 5-week broadcast of Joe McHugh’s “Rosin the Bow” podcast episodes leading up to Centrum’s Fiddle Tunes Workshop in early July. “Rosin the Bow” explores some of the many roles the violin family of instruments play in the world today through a series of public radio programs, podcasts, and a comprehensive oral history archived by the Smithsonian Institution National Museum of American History.
