THE RADIO SHOWSummer 2008 I have forsaken the radio for the summer, a practice I began in 1991. It was harder to stop this year than last. I had tremendous fun this season thinking about, constructing, and reconstructing parts of shows in advance and then using them as jumping off points for variations small and large that would arise each Sunday evening. And it seemed to me that I heard from more people who were listening which is a major plus. I hope you enjoy the various substitute hosts who will be spending some of their summer Sunday evenings in the modern, windowless, basement that is the WPRB studio: Dr Cosmo (June 22), Garrett Broad (June 29, July 27), Kevin Connell (July 6), Bob Schremser (August 10) and Pete Labriola (July 13, 20, and August 3, 17, 24 and 31). Please check out the Concert Calendar section of this webpage for information about some of the great concerts in the WPRB radio area this summer. Also, I have added some of my favorite new CDs to the Recommended Records section. I'll be back on the air on Sunday, September 7. I hope you have a wonderful summer. - John (Continue at archive of previous blog entries)
Music You Can’t Hear On The Radio is a radio show begun in February 1974 by John Weingart to weave folk music, string band music, bluegrass blues, humor, the Grateful Dead and occasional news clippings and readings into a whole that is, as often as possible, bigger than the sum of its parts. The program usually includes a mix of CDs and LPs each often linked to the ones that came before and follow in a way intended to evoke interest, amusement, surprise, profound educational experiences or bewilderment. The opening song and other parts of the program may refer to particularly current news or seasonal events. Music You Can’t Hear On The Radio will be on the air live this Sunday from 7:00 to 10:00 p.m. on WPRB which broadcasts to a 45-mile radius from Princeton, New Jersey, at 103.3 FM and to the world at WPRB.com. Every Sunday evening, usually between 8:45 and 9:15 p.m., Music You Can’t Hear On The Radio includes a selected listing of concerts in the central New Jersey, Bucks County and Philadelphia area. This list and more is available at the Concert Calendar page. Also, please e-mail any concert information you would like included in the on-air listing. Comments from listeners are encouraged and welcomed. Listeners with a quick question or comment may call WPRB during the show at 609-258-1033 but the DJ is often too busy and distracted to talk or listen coherently. E-mail comments will be read and replied to after the show. |
