Hey that's awesome, congratulations.

I had no idea this existed but I should have assumed. College radio stations have always been doing great work.

I know this is a scorching-hot take and I'm sure I'm going to get a lot of pushback for saying it, but: WIDR... is good.

Congrats from an old pal in Colorado.

I got into a ton of great music listening to WIDR in my high school bedroom.

Greetings to Brad, who graduated quite awhile ago.

I just assumed all college radio stations were as weird and amazing as WIDR - I guess not!

This is awesome! I hosted a show on Sunday mornings when I went to WMU. Had such a blast.
