Free Radio vs Soviet Russia Support WPRB

In America, you turn on radio. In Soviet Russia, radio turns on you!

As we listen to this fascinating music by artists who were used and abused under the Soviet system, consider how fortunate we are to be able to enjoy the kind of freedom represented by independent radio. WPRB 103.3 FM is in the final days of its “silent drive.” That means we don’t take up too much air time with repetitive pitches for your decadent capital. We just put the message out there a few times a shift and leave it to you to do what you feel is right.

If you enjoy the mix of unusual and neglected repertoire, and you find the personalized stamp on the programming a positive contribution to your day; and if you enjoy the passion and commitment of the hosts, who play all kinds of music – truly something to suit every immoral Western tendency – I hope you will find it in your heart and in your budget to support us.

WPRB is the radio station of Princeton University. However, we are independently owned and funded. That means we rely on the generosity of listeners just like you.

Don’t wait for Moose and Squirrel to do it for you. Please contribute today – and maybe pick up a t-shirt – at http://wprb.com/wprb-fundraising-drive-fall-2017/. WPRB’s silent drive ends tomorrow, November 17.

Then kick back and enjoy your petty bourgeois turpitude, until 11:00 EST, as we continue to mark the centenary of the Russian Revolution, on Classic Ross Amico.

Bird Song Music on WPRB This Thursday

This Thursday morning on WPRB, I’ll be giving you the bird. Lots of them, as a matter of fact.

We’ll hear music about eagles, condors, blackbirds, loons, cuckoos, swallows, nightingales, peacocks, larks, ravens, geese, and many more.

The bird is the word, from 6 to 11 EST, on WPRB 103.3 FM and wprb.com. You can forget the binoculars, on Classic Ross Amico.

Support WPRB Independent Radio

While we’re all enjoying this morning’s salute to elusive autumn on Classic Ross Amico, I thought I would offer a gentle reminder that the music you hear on WPRB 103.3 FM is made possible thanks to listener contributions. True, we are the radio station of Princeton University, but we are independently owned and funded. It’s what’s called a paradox.

Now, we’re not going to hammer you with incessant pitches for your cash with a little music sandwiched in between. This is a “silent drive.” We’re just putting it out there and leaving it up to you to follow your conscience and accept responsibility. The sad fact of the matter is that many people listen, but very few give. I believe the percentage is something like one in ten.

I know that everyone is clamoring for you to give this time of year. But even if it’s only a few bucks, we’ll take it. In fact, when you follow the link, I think you’ll notice that the thank you gifts are tailored to encourage donations at all levels. You’ll find some updates about the station and get a glimpse of the swag by going here:

Take the plunge into autumn until 11:00 this morning. Enjoy the music knowing that you are instrumental in keeping it going. Thank you in advance for your tax-deductible contribution to WPRB. When you get to the comments section, don’t forget to mention your fondness for the hard-working Classic Ross Amico!

Diabolical Halloween Music on WPRB

The music is so compelling, it’s diabolical!

This Thursday morning on WPRB, with the approach of Halloween, prepare yourself for some wild rides. There will be heart-pounding sprints through nocturnal forests; breathless pursuits by witches, demons, and djinns; and white-knuckle plunges into the abyss.

We’ll hurtle out of control, as modes of transportation go awry, cower under the blankets at the call of ghostly huntsmen, and even experience a literal “night mare.”

We’ll be pursued, kidnapped, and narrowly avert damnation, this Thursday morning, from 6 to 11 EDT, on WPRB 103.3 FM and wprb.com. If we’re not exactly pure, at least we’re chased, on Classic Ross Amico.
