The idea of a radio station that is still programmed by human beings where the actual deejay gets to choose depending on his or her own taste and interests is the way radio used to be, but is now a revolutionary concept - and something we've been committed to all along.

I think people who say radio is gone or radio is irrelevant are way off the mark. It's still by a huge degree the dominant medium. I know it's changing but radio is still incredibly important.

One of the things I'm most proud of that we've done here at WFMU - after various failed attempts - is to create a really healthy online community that feeds into the physical real-world community. It's spawned meet-ups in other cities. People even get married - they meet online from these chats that accompany every single program and are a really big part of what we do.

WFMU is so experimental that you can go hours without hearing something that resembles an actual song.
