And now here’s a rundown of
tonight’s programming on WESU.
Right after the jive at Five stay
tuned for Explorers hour.
At 6pm catch 30 minutes of news and
commentary from the World Socialist Website.
At 6:30 James fusion kicks of our
electronic music block with 90 minutes of pounding techno mixed live. At 8pm
Miky Nyce keeps the EDN going with a 90 minute set of house music on the warehouse.
At 9:30 DJ Berk should be in the house followed
by Gus Lo but my guess is that you’ll be getting our fun mix of holiday music until
The BBC kicks on at 4, followed by NPR's Morning Edition at 5am.
And that’s all for today’s Jive at
Five, if you didn’t get a chance to write down some of the information
mentioned in our community calendar, the script is published online at
wesufm.org/jive.
