In response to widespread summer plan cancellations and general ennui during the COVID-19 pandemic, several KRLX Board members started to plan a collaborative, remote project that would give Carls something low-pressure and self-designed to do over the summer (especially after all the stress of online classes) and create content for KRLX and foster a friendly, productive community. This idea led to the creation of The Bucket.
The Bucket is the summer blog offshoot of KRLX 88.1 FM, Carleton College’s 24/7 student-run radio station. Founded in July 2020, we publish at noon CST on Tuesdays and Fridays, putting out mainly written and audio material about music and music culture.
We welcome all contributions of any medium to the blog; there is no strict content or subject requirement, though due to our status as a radio station, we often receive and post music-related media.
If you’d like to contribute anywhere from one time to regularly over the summer, please email us at:
