Michael Dominici, host of the New Orleans Music Show, Thursdays 11am-2pm CT, on what's special about WWOZ: "Long before I had any real sense of community, I listened to WWOZ because of the unique music content. It was the first time I heard James Booker, Professor Longhair... Read more

My show is entitled Overnight Music and Information with The Rootzmaster. My focus is two-fold: (1) music from all the world, all over the US, Central and South America, Africa, the Caribbean, and Europe, and (2) I focus on information to highlight certain endeavors and eve... Read more

I got started with WWOZ back in the Treehouse, the WWOZ Studio in Armstrong Park. A friend of mine asked me to record the Livewire (on a reel to reel tape!) and I’ve been doing it ever since. I think I’ve been on the Tuesday Livewire for over 20 years.  OZ is a wonderful, ... Read more

Here’s a couple questions, from yours truly, the host of The Dean’s List (and Tudo Bem, but let’s stick with the “academic” side for now, and get to the Brazilian side daqui um pouco/in a little bit): 1) Why should you donate to this station, WWOZ-FM, the one you keep on in... Read more

I love the music that I grew up with, 50s & 60s oldies, and the only time I listen to it is when I play it on WWOZ on Wednesday nights.  This music lets me remember the good times, conjures up a lot of memories of days gone past, who I was with and what I was doing. We’d ... Read more

Why support WWOZ? Because of that moment.  We’ve all had that moment, thousands of times. That moment, when we tune in and they play the music for us. Brass; jazz of countless stripes, from last century and since; funk; the New Orleans piano lineage; zydeco; every kind ... Read more
