Call for Submissions for LCD 29 – Attention Artists, Writers, Illustrators, and Assorted Weirdos!

WFMU is working on the next issue of our Program Guide-slash-Zine, “Lowest Common Denominator,” also known as LCD. Issue 29 is scheduled to be released this summer! If you have art, comics, essays or anything else you would like to submit for our next issue, please send them our way. We are accepting both physical and digital submissions. The theme of the issue is freeform – which means no theme. The deadline for all material is May 12th. For more info visit wfmu.org/lcd.

WFMU Film Night – SWAMP DOGG GETS HIS POOL PAINTED – Sunday May 4th @ 7PM

SWAMP DOGG GETS HIS POOL PAINTED is a wildly entertaining and fittingly unconventional documentary about convention-defying singer, songwriter and record producer Jerry Williams, aka Swamp Dogg, one of the great cult figures of 20th-century American music whose singular voice and ideas have shaped the history not merely of soul music, but of country, hip-hop and a dozen other genres. FOR TICKETS CLICK HERE! All proceeds benefit WFMU. WFMU Radio’s Monty Hall, located at 43 Montgomery Street in downtown Jersey City (mere steps from the Exchange Place PATH station).

Tuning Out the Algorithm at WFMU

Writer/reporter John Erik Hmeil was hanging around at WFMU a little while ago saying he was going to write a story about us. Sure, fella. But lo and behold – he actually did! His article, “Tuning Out the Algorithm at WFMU,” appears in the latest issue of Jacobin. If you don’t know much about our freeform history and our commitment to human-based programming, this article will tell you what you need to know. You can read it online here.

Marathon Swag is a Comin’

Some of you have received your swag by now, but there are a bunch of you that we still need to get to. The biggest packages sometimes take the longest to get out the door, but they do always taste the sweetest. If you haven’t received yours yet, hang in there a bit longer, we’re a tiny operation chuggin’ along. It should be on its way soon! Should you have any questions about your pledge, feel free to drop Listener Services Director Joe McGasko an e-mail at: pledge@wfmu.org.
