The host asked about Rambunction’s personal plans, prompting the guest to describe his upcoming weekend, which he expects to spend “relaxing and brainstorming new projects.” Listeners were reminded they could send messages to the station via the numbers 625-2257, 627-3223, and join the conversation on WhatsApp.

Overall, the interview shed light on the resilience of the region’s creative community and underscored the need for continued dialogue and support to navigate financial pressures while preserving artistic integrity.
