Lucy Rock: WRUV was my favorite part of the week
By Lucy Rock, WRUV
Walking into the WRUV station before my show was my favorite part of the week. No matter what I was working on that day, I was walking into a space where I could put on my own music and give it whatever context I wanted to.
I used my show to tell babysitting stories, promote my friend’s bands, and play tracks that could change my mood in seconds. I wanted to be able to share songs that made me listen to music differently and play music that made the traffic on Main Street easier to sit through. I loved the odd callers I would answer the station phone to and the music I was only able to discover because it was sent to the station by lesser-known artists.
WRUV is filled with a variety of students and community members who all have different worlds of music and are excited to share them. I loved being a part of this group, and having a show made me appreciate the music I listen to in a new way.
