Is there a radio host who takes greater joy in sharing his discoveries? Marvin Rosen knows more about the contemporary music scene than just about anyone. Also, he happens to be a heck of a nice guy.

Rosen is the host of “Classical Discoveries,” which can be heard Wednesdays from 5:30 to 11 a.m. ET on WPRB, the radio station of Princeton University. Over the summer, he also hosts two spin-off shows, “Classical Discoveries Goes Avant Garde”(which can be heard Wednesdays from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.) and “Treasures of Early Music” (Saturdays from 5:30 to 9 a.m.). WPRB broadcasts on 103.3 FM, and can be heard online at http://www.wprb.com/

Check out my profile of Rosen and his shows in today’s Trenton Times.
