It is produced by David Weinstein and Outpost Artists Resources operating out of the Ridgewood section of Queens, NY, where you'll find more yellow bricks than on the road to Oz and the cemetery of your choice is never more than a few blocks from home.

Such an essential cultural treasure. By capturing and preserving the sounds of a particular universe of art, Ridgewood Radio is literally making history. This kind of work is simply priceless, and thus it comes to us at no expense. But WFMU is up to its jugular with expenses and needs your help.
