I Worked at WBRU

I am sorry to report the death of a WBRU alum -- Ray Woller '63. Peter Tannenwald '64 (not on BSky) shared this with me, noting "Ray did oddball talk shows on WBRU -- random thoughts and ramblings -- similar to what #JeanShepherd was doing at the time on #WOR in NYC." Translation anyone?

One phenomenon in music today that is very different from the past at WBRU is how regularly older songs go viral and become as popular as the recently released indie hits. In the current chart, we've got @yeahyeahyeahs.bsky.social from 2003, among many others www.crownnote.com/charts/wbru/...
