Hey Gang,
Do you like awkward-Japanese-death metal-love pop-ass kickery all shoved in to one wholesome dubbed package? Then you will get a kick out of a movie I stumbled across the other day, “Detroit Metal City”. It is like Dethklok and Puffy Ami Yumi got thrown into a blender and were shit out on 35mm film played across the interweb (but in a good way). It is streaming on ye old website link below! Party on!

Hey gang!
It is that time of year again. Time of course for assistants! Being that members of our directing staff will be leaving come May 1st, we need to start the process of hiring assistants who are interested in possibly becoming a part of the WIDR directing staff. We are looking for assistants for all 6 departments (Promotions, Music, Programming, Business, Production, and one for me as GM). We are looking for serious applicants who would like to work for one of the country’s best and up and coming independent radio stations! This is what you need to apply:
-Be a student of WMU (grad students can also apply)
-Be a serious lover of all music
-Have an open mind
-Be willing to work hard
You dont need to have worked with/for WIDR previously, but it is certainly a plus if you have. These assistantships do not guarnetee you a job on our directing staff, but if you are serious about the job, I would encourage considering taking an assistantship. It lets you job shadow and get your feet wet, and figure out a bit more about how WIDR works. You get to step into a 50+ year legacy of providing awesome music to an awesome community. If you are interested, please email the appropriate department, and we can set up interviews from there. Now is your chance to become part of WIDR!
We will be posting in another month or two about applying or the actual director positions.
All of contact info for the appropriate departments are on our contact page (which you can find a link for at the top of the blog).

Bill Waterson, the man behind the awesome comic “Calvin and Hobbes” has given his first interview in the last 15 years (to Cleaveland.com no less). Anyway, I wanted to post a link to it because that comic is sweet. Cleaveland.com’s interview with Bill Waterson!

Hey gang,
I wanted to drop you all a line to let you know that our webstream is down. I am doing my best to get it back up as soon as possible! While I work on this problem, check out our podcasts! They are almost as cool as listening live!!
