WESU at Wesleyan University is the final stop on my flurry of 2025 east coast college radio station tours. For those with a station tour bingo card: I spotted a Leo Blais sign AND a Steve Keene painting! www.radiosurvivor.com/2025/12/radi...

A match made in heaven: library + radio station. My latest @radiosurvivor.bsky.social tour is of community radio station KYRS-FM, which is located in the Spokane Central Library. www.radiosurvivor.com/2025/12/radi...

WYBC has an amazing history, with student radio initially launching at Yale with a carrier current station in 1941, before expanding to licensed FM & AM stations that reach the broader New Haven community. See my tour of student-run college radio station WYBCx. www.radiosurvivor.com/2025/12/radi...

Glad to finally get to see Williams College radio station WCFM. Thanks to Josh Picoult for already doing the archival work to trace the station's history. Student amateur radio broadcasts in the late 1930s led to the creation of carrier current station WMS in 1940 and then FM station WCFM in 1957.

Thanks to @hclibraries.bsky.social for the support and for preserving college radio history! www.haverford.edu/marketing-an...

I was happy to get Alison and Liam from @xcsbcleveland.bsky.social on @radiosurvivor.bsky.social to discuss the latest news about to the shutdown of Cleveland State's student-run college radio station WCSB. Sad footnote: WCSB used to air the Radio Survivor show. www.radiosurvivor.com/2025/11/podc...

I was so charmed by WRMC's colorful space. Lavender and pink walls lead to hallway containing a sweet mural. The personality-filled walls hinted at the treasures to come throughout my visit to the 75+ year old college radio station at Middlebury College. www.radiosurvivor.com/2025/11/radi...

What a pleasure to unearth details about a 1950s Bennington College radio station while completing my latest radio station tour piece. B-Rad is the station today and it is the latest in a long line of fascinating student-built stations. www.radiosurvivor.com/2025/11/radi...

I loved visiting Bates College radio station WRBC. The station has it all: sticker-covered walls, thrifted furniture, oodles of history, and a signal that artfully bleeds into a religious station as you enter or leave town. Article on @radiosurvivor.bsky.social www.radiosurvivor.com/2025/11/radi...

I continue to be amazed by the cool projects undertaken by college radio participants. KXDU operates from a tiny space at University of Denver and does a ton to promote the vibrant music scene on campus. Read my tour on @radiosurvivor.bsky.social www.radiosurvivor.com/2025/11/radi...

I went down a serious rabbit hole to find the origins of the claim that Regis University is home to Denver's oldest college radio station KRCX. Learn more in my tour report on @radiosurvivor.bsky.social www.radiosurvivor.com/2025/10/radi...

Read my report on @radiosurvivor.bsky.social about the recent shutdown of college radio station WCSB at Cleveland State. Students and supporters are fighting this deal, which puts jazz programming on the formerly student-run station's FM channel. They share updates at @xcsbcleveland.bsky.social.

College/community radio is alive and well! My new tour report features @wmpg.org at University of Southern Maine. WMPG has been in the limelight thanks to a documentary making the festival circuit. The buzz within the station was also palpable during my visit. www.radiosurvivor.com/2025/10/radi...

I was psyched to finally get to visit Wellesley College radio station WZLY. What a history! It began as carrier current station WBS in 1942 and went FM in the 1970s. At 83 years old, it is most likely the longest running women's college radio station in the U.S. www.radiosurvivor.com/2025/10/radi...

Thanks to WBRS-FM at Brandeis University for the fun tour last week. College radio is alive and well!

Keeping the college radio positivity going...Here's a great read from Sounding Out! In honor of College Radio Day, they shared "a special post devoted to the intergenerational relationships that power college radio and keep it lit." soundstudiesblog.com/2025/10/03/a...

Especially in light of the shutdown of @wcsb.bsky.social yesterday, it's important to know that college radio IS thriving and plays a vital role in many students' lives. Thanks to @emwhitenoise.bsky.social for this great piece that takes a closer look at why Gen Z is excited about college radio.

OK… I’m intrigued. Radio cameo in the Stranger Things musical on Broadway per this photo in a @wsj.com review.

A journalism teacher and student newspaper adviser at San Francisco’s prestigious Lowell High School says administrators removed him from these roles over student work, including a published article that quoted students complaining that they had been verbally harassed by teachers.

Frog party on @kfjc.org right now!

@cjsrfm.bsky.social is my first station tour in Canada and it was an amazing visit! A campus and community radio station at University of Alberta, its studio is located in an old bank vault. Full story on @radiosurvivor.bsky.social: www.radiosurvivor.com/2025/04/radi...

The @wetlandproject.bsky.social Earth Day broadcast of nature sounds is a lovely dose of calm. @kfjc.org is airing it most of the day. Listen at kfjc.org

I finally made it to the pre-dawn San Francisco earthquake commemoration on April 18. It was a very inspiring event, showcasing the resilience of our hardy citizens past and present.

Had a lovely chat with @planetbones.bsky.social about music discovery, college radio, and independent media. Thanks for inviting me to chat after my tour of KUCR!

Another college radio tour is posted on @radiosurvivor.bsky.social. I was excited to return to Bowling Green, OH to check out my old haunts, including college radio station WBGU. I have fond memories of my time there in the 90s: going to shows, tallying playlists for CMJ & making lifelong friends.

What did I do on my summer vacation circa 2023? On a fun road trip, I popped in to see a few college radio stations, including WONY-FM at SUNY Oneonta. Thanks to @abottomley.bsky.social for being my tour guide. Article now posted on @radiosurvivor.bsky.social. www.radiosurvivor.com/2025/04/radi...

It was such a treat to finally visit college radio station KUCR at UC Riverside. My tour is now posted on @radiosurvivor.bsky.social. www.radiosurvivor.com/2025/04/radi...

Cheers to all the human curators and to independent radio stations who are still an important force in music, news, and so much more...
