I'm reminded that at one time KGOU (University of Oklahoma) was a commercial rock radio station ... until it was turned over to what was then known as the College of Continuing Education and turned into a noncommercial NPR outlet, effective 01.01.1983. It had been on the air since 1970.

Information about the “win-win” scenario crafted by Ideastream News and Cleveland State University with CSU’s president Laura Bloomberg (without student or community input) has come out thanks to Amy Morona’s reporting at Signal Cleveland. Full article: signalcleveland.org/cleveland-st...

Our next rally will be not-so-silent outside of the Cleveland City Club on Euclid Avenue from 11:30 am-1 pm on Friday, October 17th. Some of our members will be inside but their wall of window will ensure everyone will be seen and heard while Ideastream talks about the future of public media.

The record fair went great today. I got rid of a few crates of records and got this very modest and tasteful manowar shirt. It was fun chatting with everyone.

ICYMI, my radio interview with Ray Carr at WCSB is online here: https://raycarram.com/media/vibbert3.mp3 (Image is, admittedly, a selfie from WRUW's radio library. I was in such a rush on my lunch break I failed to take a good picture of WCSB)

My haul at the WCSB record fair at the new Foundry in Old Brooklyn!

Swipe to see their menu, and don't forget their bar will be open the whole time too, so you can sip while you flip. Details: www.wcsb.org/2025-record-...
