WRSU Spring Wrap-Up
Hey Everyone,
It is hard to believe, but the spring has really wrapped up here at WRSU. From our 60th anniversary dinner and broadcast, to live remotes for the Irish Hour and the 34th annual NJ Folk Festival, things have been pretty hectic here. The management and current staff enjoyed the company of about 70 alumni at an emotional 60th banquet, peppered with crazy stories that seem even too racy for us young guns! Rushing everyone back to the station for the broadcast was a blast, including a conference call with Charles Brookwell (the first station manager and my predecessor, 1948) and Larry Berger, the former WPLJ-FM program director who worked here at WRSU-AM in the 60s.
If there is such a thing as the magic of radio, it was definitely threading through the packed shoulders of the alumni in that cramped, stuffy studio. Check for the clip on the site as we kick things down a notch and take care of some old business over the summer.
The folk festival was another successful event, put on by our very own Community Affairs Director and Assistant Music Director of World Music, Geoff Pape. We aired about 10 different mini-shows throughout the day, from almost every genre. I believe Geoff did German pop music to open the program at 12, if I am not mistaken (the theme this year was German). I don't know because I was passed out tired until 11:30 that day (still recovering from the 60th dinner, weeks later).
As things wrap up around here, stay tuned as certain shows go on hiatus for the summer, expand to fill other slots, or do their final goodbyes if their host is going to be graduating and will not be retaining their show as an alumnus at the station.
And as always, thanks for your support of the station, as it really is all about YOU.
Yours in radio,
Dan Mulcahey
