Since the COVID tsunami broke across central New Jersey, I have not been able to get in to the station to upload webcasts from my two specialty shows, “Picture Perfect” and “The Lost Chord.” So for months, the most recent shows archived on the WWFM website dated from around St. Patrick’s Day – or roughly the time I began cultivating my coronabeard.
That now has been remedied, to some extent, thanks to production manager Rachel Katz, who has been working from home, but, every once in a while, has had to don the hazmat suit in order to enter the college and ensure everything continues to fire as it should. Searching for and uploading audio from my overcrowded folder takes time, as does making sure that all the settings are correct, so that the material can be accessed from the WWFM website.
Rachel has also been instrumental in ensuring that encore broadcasts of “Picture Perfect” and “The Lost Chord” have continued at all, as I have been sending her lists of shows in five-week increments, and again, it is she who has been hunting them down and loading them into the system.
Most of June (excluding this past weekend) is now available on the station’s webcast page, as is all of May. As far as I can tell, there are only a few weeks – the last two of March, and a couple in April – that are still missing.
To listen to the shows, follow the links below, select the one you’d like to hear, and click on the “listen” button.
