Broadcasting since 1939, WESU, 88.1 FM Middletown CT (streaming at www.wesufm.org and available on TuneIn), is affiliated with Wesleyan University. I'm in my 17th year of hosting "Acoustic Blender," my folk/roots show. I'm on Tuesday evenings from 6-8pm. Programs are archived for two weeks at 

Having a somewhat eclectic approach, "Acoustic Blender" (an Old Songs Festival Media partner) runs the gamut from old time music to current singer-songwriter material and everything in between and beyond. My goal is to play about ten new releases in my shows and do focus a bit on events, birthdays, seasonal changes, on holidays and on folks who will be playing in the area. Here's what aired tonight:
