College radio has always had a cool, hip factor. It’s a culture built on passion and discovery that benefits both students and listeners. Long live the stations running on duct tape, borrowed records, and a pure obsession that's defiantly alive.
So great to see college radio in all its glory featured in today's NYT. I interviewed for the piece (WFUV is at Fordham, WFMU is independent, formerly of Uppsala--such is the way with radio, which has more acronyms than the New Deal): www.nytimes.com/2025/11/20/s...
