Favorite college radio shows?

I recently asked what your favorite college radio stations were. Now I want to know what your favorite (current) college radio SHOWS are. We're building a calendar (link) with the most interesting college radio shows, where the DJ is clearly passionate and puts a lot of effort into his/her show. The shows on the calendar are automatically pulled and displayed in the "Now Playing" section here.

Yoon at Jetlag 88 has DJ'd my favorite radio show ever. She has the best taste in music; sometimes I would be at a party and the music would be really good and I would go and see who it was. It was her with some cool crazy psychedelic/prog records that had just got reissued. This show is the best. They played this thing tonight that sounded like Roy Orbison in Japanese, it had that intense early rock n roll passion but was from some non-English speaking group in the 70s. Anyways. Always the best 2 hours of my week.

Sunday 8pm-10pm 88.5FM

I just made an offhand comment about her style last week when she was really focusing on prog by saying on fb I just happened to catch a little bit of the prog show on Album 88, and the host was rambling on and on and on and never getting to the point and I thought "well, if ever there was a perfect way to host a prog rock show, then this is it!"

I was informed by a mutual friend that she's actually really cool and I didn't mean anything by it. I just seized and opportunity for a good joke.

wzbc has a bunch of good shows. wzbc.org/#schedule
search: atencion!, allston's revenge, gulls window circus, psychotic reactions, street meat, poetry ruins everything, kick out the james.

(i am also on wzbc, as a peek at the schedule link will reveal. it's really fun!)

oh and also the mighty jon solomon's show on wprb in princeton: keepingscoreathome.com

WMBR - Backwoods

both wmbr and wzbc have great shows but the most boring ones are for the most part during rush hour, so i rarely get to listen to the better shows unless i find them online later. when i'm in the car it tends to be so much bland 80s-90s alternative rock

Jetlag 88 isn't just a prog show though. It's more like international psychedelia. First time I listened to it there was a killer 15-minute Korean version of "Inna Gadda Da Vida".

Oh I know. She was doing her Gong tribute when I tuned in, though.

i have a college radio show sundays at noon on wqhs.org

it's not as good as the best college radio i've heard. there was this metal show on princeton university's station last year and the DJ was such a charming dork it was great. the music was good too.

so boston folks what is a good global/international show to tune into?

Man I used to play international psych and prog (including that Korean In A Gadda Da Vida cover) and nobody gave a fuuuuuuck.

Well if it's any consolation I checked Jetlag's facebook page for last night's set list and there were only 4 likes.

It's a little bit of consolation for the black hole of bitterness inside me, yes. But that sucks, I wish people were more interested in the awesome, beautiful weirdness of the past.

sorry if my show is boring

lol maura your show ends at 5pm so i haven't heard it yet!

hahaha oh ok. i play a lot of 90s stuff! it's all archived at zbconline.com

i have one of these, too. my show is very ilm-friendly but i'm kind of a bad host http://www.cfrc.ca/bleunuit_20150218

Sad to hear Yoon announce she is graduating soon and Jetlagg 88 will have the final episode in 4 or 5 shows =( She played Vangelis's soundtrack to "The Apocalypse of Animals", which is a psychedelic French nature documentary from 1970:

Not sad she's graduating obv, sad the show is ending.

I still don’t have a blog to dump this stuff, so:

I’ve lived in Boston for years and I’ve always been really disheartened by the lack of a dance program on Saturday evenings (on both commercial and non-commercial radio). I finally started to make moves to remedy the situation. Inspired by Maura’s show on Boston College’s WZBC, I starting plotting the structure of a dance program on MIT’s WMBR and this week I started recording a demo episode. It’s a survey of Eurodance from 1990 to 2010!

A few random ideas:

- A weekly show sounds impossible, so I’ve been thinking about a format where it’s possible to have reruns. I really loved that Brave New Waves on CBC Radio 2 stuck to three or four different structures: survey episodes, occasional “let’s play new music” episodes, interview episodes, and performance (usually pre-recorded mixes) episodes. They’d rerun everything but the “let’s play new music” episodes and it seemed fine to me as a listener.

- I also want to steal Patti Schmidt’s radio voice, e.g. https://youtu.be/c3v0PJmByx8

- I love a lot of the fixtures of weekend dance radio. Especially shout out calls-ins. I think my love for this comes from my love of the New Dance Show (https://youtu.be/CgdG5KAbf18). I really need to figure out how-to make this happen. I think it’s probably easiest to fake it.

- I also really love drops from the performer you’re about to play so I started asking some people to record them and, shockingly, they started doing just that. In the past day, I’ve chatted with Veronica Almqvist from Smile.dk, Aneela Mirza from Toy-Box, and Thea Austin from Snap! Thea (I’m imaging we’re now on a first name basis) is now a successful lobbyist for global women’s issues.

- Like everyone else who loves this type of thing, I love The Electrifying Mojo and The Wizard. I especially loved their use of weird recordings in their mixes like stuff they recorded from TV. I decided to make this episode Y2K themed so I’ve been ripping audio from YouTube videos with hysterical people talking about floating-point overflow issues.

sounds really neat! would love to hear it

Yeah sounds very cool!
