Now Playing: wgay.fm

I've posted before about things to do while wasting time at work, including new ways to find new music while sitting at your desk. I've just discovered something new... Or rather, something old that's definitely new to me: WGAY.fm. Patrick, one of the station's primary contributors, tipped me off yesterday and I'm definitely intrigued...

If you all are interested in alternative queer resources and events in the D.C. area, you should check out www.wgay.fm. This is an online radio station that my partner started in 1991 when he was 13 years old, and I've been involved with for the past seven years. This Friday (5/8) the show celebrates 17 years on the air. We essentially broadcast a party every week, and the conversations range from intellectual to "intellectual" to dirty to hilarious to just stupid. We also play a wide range of music. You can listen pretty much around the clock (we broadcast old shows 24-7, but occasionally let other people use our stream, so it might not be us you're listening to at any given time) and we're live Friday nights from 9 pm until 1 am. You can chat with us in the studio using the AOL IM "wgayfm". You can also check out our audio blog postings on the Washington Blade website, under "BladeBlog." There is a Facebook group for announcements and chat (search for "wgay").

Show schedule:

Friday Night, 9 PM - 1 AM - The Live Weekly Show - aka "the main event"
Tuesdays - Oldies Day with Ken Carpenter
Wednesdays - WGTB on WGAY (1970s recordings of Georgetown U's underground college radio station, including replays of the pioneering gay show "Friends")
