About Marisa’s Show:​

“Marisa’s Mixtapes” 4 PM Mondays
Mixtapes made to a theme each week. The theme can be by era, topic, emotion, or even by general vibes.

What made you want to become a WOO 91 DJ?
I’ve always loved learning more about artists and musicians and I like the thought of promoting some really talented people that deserve some good exposure.

How has being a WOO 91 DJ impacted your Wooster experience?
Being a WOO91 DJ has given me great opportunities to meet new people, brush up on my improvisational skills, work on my articulation, gain confidence with creating a broadcast and sharing it on the air, and it’s a great way to relax after a long day of classes!

What are you listening to right now?
I’m always in love with Bear Hands; I’m currently obsessed with Tennis, Hundred Waters, and Here We Go Magic; and I’m heavily revisiting my U2 phase.

About their show:​

Sad Songs & Stuff / Monday nights from 10-11

I play sad songs. I try to base each show on a theme (unrequited love, the moon, dancing, nostalgia) and I’ll usually start off the hour with a poem or quote (the ‘Stuff’ portion of my show). It’s getting harder to find new sad songs that are to my liking and fit a certain theme, so the ‘Stuff’ side of things may be open to interpretation in the future. Perhaps a moderately happy song or two will sneak in.​

What made you want to become a WOO 91 DJ?
I like music, and the notion of creating a show that could be whatever I desired was attractive to me. But honestly, a friend asked me if I wanted to do the tutorial with her and I said yes.

How has being a WOO 91 DJ impacted your Wooster experience?
I get to see more people via the station’s location in the Wired Scot.

Do you have a tagline/catchphrase for your show?
“Come be sad with me”

What are you listening to right now?
Marika Hackman’s new album We Slept at Last (specifically the sound of the ‘k’ in ‘neck’ in the beginning of her song “Skin”), Father John Misty’s new album I Love You, Honeybear, The Weather Station’s “Running Around Asking,” and The Shiver’s “L.I.E.”

New Radio Seminar!

The fall seminar in radio started today, with a fantastic 21 students ready to learn the radio ropes. Led by WOO 91 advisor John Finn, this 6 session class will prepare and ultimately certify each participant to be a DJ here on WOO 91. Each student will also be mentored by a member of our management staff in order to get some hands-on practice in the studio.

We can’t wait to see the new ideas and passions these students bring to our station!
