Obies On The Air: WOBC Shows to Tune Into

Create-A-Club with DJ Peppa Pig airs Saturdays 9–10 p.m. on WOBC. What is your show about, and how did you choose your content? Each week I create my own club —hence the name — and play music that I think you would hear at said club. For example, my first show I named the club "Diggin’ for Gold" and only played songs that had the word "boogie" in the title. Coming up, I have some shows f...

Person Place or Musical Thing with DJ Parsnip, airs Saturdays 8–9 a.m. on WOBC.    What is your show about, and how did you choose your content? The basic premise is that I pick one songwriter or pop artist each week and tie them to a “concert hall” classical composer. I play their music side by side and explore both musical connections and broader narrative connections like thei...

ENBIE with Fox and soup.fm airs Thursdays 10–11 a.m. on WOBC. What is your show about, and how did you choose your content?

And I had started to identify a lot of them in what I was listening to, so it...

COVID Year Highlight Reel with Eamon McKeon airs Thursdays 8–9 p.m. on WOBC.   What is your show about, and how did you choose your content? My show is essentially a rehash of a show I first did my freshman spring and have since done twice. Each week, I pick out a new music journal, blog, magazine etc., check out their list of the best songs of the past year — 2020 in the case of thi...

Discover Weekly with AppleSidra and chibi aki airs Fridays 11 p.m.–12 a.m. on WOBC. What is your show about, and how did you choose your content? Discover Weekly was actually more of my co-host’s idea where we showcase a guest every week and interview them on their playlisting and music-listening habits. The interviews are either masked and in-person or via Zoom. We usually end up playin...
