WFMU’s cash flow problem is the stuff of monster movies, and our October Fundraiser is here to help carry us through the leanest months of the year. We hope you can tune in and help out the Freeform Station of the Nation as we launch our Into the Black campaign to double the number of people making monthly donations and get the station out of the red! If you are not a Swag 4 Life monthly donor, PLEASE join the campaign this month! And if you’re already in the Swag 4 Life program, please increase your monthly donation by whatever amount is doable. We are hoping to increase our roster of Swag 4 Lifers from 2000 to 4000 during this fundraiser.
For your pledge: Two great new tees (including a re-print of our famed Woof-Moo tee!), our 4th annual Mascot Contest, and generally keeping your listening experiences free of interruption until our March ‘thon. Please spread the word and go to www.wfmu.org from now til the end of October!

Celebrate and prepare for the post-Christie New Jersey Future this Saturday night at Monty Hall with
“Electorama: Jersey’s Election Game Show” a comedy game show inspired by the upcoming gubernatorial election in New Jersey.
Host Jo Firestone will help navigate the political waters with our guest comedians: Calise Hawkins, Scott Chaplain, and Dina Hashem to help them choose which mystery gubernatorial is their match. Who knows, maybe Chris Christie, Kim Guadagno or Phil Murphy will stop by to say a few words?
We’ll have trivia and prizes and a few fun surprises! Join us on October 21, 2017 at 7pm and see our lucky contestants on Electorama: Jersey’s Election Game Show. Grab your tickets today!
Electorama is a collaboration between WFMU, Reveal from The Center for Investigative Reporting, the Center for Cooperative Media and the Geraldine R Dodge Foundation.

Skeptech is a new event series discussing digital technology and its effects on our day-to-day lives – not in Luddite opposition to tech, but rather raising awareness about the challenges raised by digital technology today. Online apps and services can be addictive, they can threaten privacy, and they often manipulate users without their knowledge or consent.
Skeptech will feature tech experts who will speak about “the dark side of tech” that they have witnessed in their own fields. Between the speaker presentations and audience participation, Skeptech’s goal is to “gel” some diverse perspectives while offering some ideas and inspiration for next steps: how to choose better tools, and perhaps even how to create better tech in the future.
WFMU Benefit: 100% of Skeptech ticket sales will go to WFMU to benefit the station and its free-form programming.
