January is coming to a close and this week on the Musical Connections podcast, we highlight an initiative for musicians and creators that takes place during the month of February, the RPM Challenge. I speak with the operator of the RPM Challenge, Elling Lien of Unpossible NL! We talk about the origins of the RPM Challenge in 2006 in Portsmouth, New Hampshire to its first Newfoundland and Labrador instalment in 2008! Plus, he talks about his favourite memories, how you can get involved with the RPM Challenge, and a whole lot more!
