Radio Paprika

Give early, give often! In the wake of the gentrification of certain other radio stations, community freeform radio needs your support now more than ever.

It’s finally here! 🙌 Telethon, the one week a year where you can give your monetary support to WRUW FM 91.1 Cleveland, began this morning and continues until midnight on Sunday, March 29th.

Tune in all week to hear your favorite DJs tell you how your donation can make a difference, follow our social media pages to see featured premiums and programmers, and go to our website to choose the gift you’d like to receive for your donation!

Help us reach our goal of $121K ($91.1K + $30K for the endowment)! Show your love for college radio and donate to WRUW this week by going to telethon.wruw.org anytime or calling 216-368-2208 between 8am and midnight! 🤳

Fret no more! YOU can listen ANYTIME by streaming from our archives. Listen here for the radio program that JD Vance doesn't want as a next door neighbor:

Did you miss yesterday's icy-hot program? We ran the gamut from Arabic funk, Turkish psych, to French pop, and a few other odds and ends that crept in. BONUS CONTENT: catch the Beethoven-not-Beethoven set in the first half hour for a real trip; you'll know it when you hear it. https://listen.wruw.org/?time=1765746000

There’s a huge hole in the heart of alternative, college radio today with the forced shutdown of our beloved WCSB. Listeners know that we do this for the love of the music first and always. Take nothing for granted, show your support, and keep listening!
I’ll say a few more words today at 4pm during Radio Paprika on WRUW-FM 91.1 Cleveland, but mostly I’ll be doing what we do best: bringing you eclectic and diverse music you won’t hear anywhere else.

Did you miss yesterday's program again? Now that you're back at work and have nothing better to do, you can stream it! The first 10 minutes are the tail end of an interview with Russell Mael of Sparks, conducted by the previous programmer on Sweet and Lowdown, and then it's straight into WRUW-FM 91.1 Cleveland

Did you miss Sunday's show and don't know what to do? No need to feel desperate and hopeless, because you can stream it ANYTIME for up to two weeks. Real radio programmed by real people, not robots!
