Dear Listeners,

Happy May! My name is Sara, and it is a pleasure to formally introduce myself as WKCR’s Business Manager. If you have been tuned in this month, you have likely heard my voice over the airwaves repeatedly—and somewhat tediously—asking for donations. I am delighted to announce that our bi-annual fundraiser was a swimming success! Thank you very much to everyone who contributed, tuned in, volunteered to answer phones, and programmed on air. All of you have helped to ensure that the station will thrive for another year, and hopefully many more. The future is promising for WKCR.

Speaking of promising, we have lots of special broadcasts to look forward to this month. Please read on to learn more from our wonderful program director, Charlie Kusiel King. Also in this issue of the On Air Guide is a beautiful piece from Emma Lacy and Hadassah Weinmartin about Miles Davis in light of his upcoming centennial, a senior interview with the amazing Jude Fairchild, a concert review at the Roulette from, once again, Charlie Kusiel King, and a record store review from the great, and heavily On-Air featured, Jack Serpick. Great things to come.
