Music and the Radio Foreign Style

I'm working at my college radio station for the 5th or 6th semester this year, and I gotta tell ya, it gets better each semester. I've done specialty shows playing everything from metal to oldies and everything in between. But this semester I'll be sticking to foreign music, or everything and anything outside the United States of America. The format comes from my journey to New Zealand and my want and need to continue learning about cultures and the music people have outside of my own country and aspects that can relate to people all over the world, after all, music is the great communicator.

The first hour involves a set of random songs from all over- Germany, New Zealand, the UK, Mexico, Brazil, Jamaica, West Africa, Norway, Sweden and many more countries. The second hour is a dance party, with house/dance/techno music, mainly from European countries (make sure to get your strobe lights out). And the third hour will play more music, but focus on heavier music toward the end of the hour. All throughout you can hear my intern and me and any special guests we have talking about international news, futbol, and interesting stories. If you enjoy a wide variety of music and have time on Tuesdays from 4-7pm (10pm-1am in Europe) you should totally listen. Here's the website: www.bridgew.edu/wbim or you can listen on the air waves if your close to Bridgewater, MA on 91.5FM

Take it in and learn to love it!
