@chas, I first got turned onto WFMU in NYC while working for a guy who listened all day everyday, and then a few years later I met WFMU DJ Zoe B. through a close friend and got totally obsessed with her show. Now I listen all day everyday. It just gets better and better. :) Luckily I work doing shipping at a rare book store and can tune in all day.

My introduction to WFMU was when my best friend moved to Williamsburg and was in a goofy old-time string band with Ian Christe… the rest is heavy metal history?!?!?

My senior year of college, I read an article about WFMU, and it said they streamed online. Since my work had better internet at the time, I worked late, and plugged in, and then I could hear the tinny stream (it was '98). I haven't stopped listening. Then I moved to NYC in 2 years, and met the people that made it happen....
