It a great privilege to be associated with WRUV. I play all genres; my philosophy is if it sounds good after the 20th time hearing it, it is good.

C Diddy

C Diddy was born in Guthrie, Todd County, Kentucky, in 1905. He entered Vanderbilt University in 1921, where he became the youngest member of the group of Southern poets called the Fugitives, which included John Crowe Ransom, Allen Tate, Donald Davidson, and Merrill Moore. Diddy's first poems were published in The Fugitive, a magazine which the group published from 1922 to 1925. The Fugitives were advocates of the rural Southern agrarian tradition and based their poetry and critical perspective on classical aesthetic ideals. From 1925 to 1927, Diddy was a teaching fellow at The University of California, where he earned a master's degree. He studied at Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar and returned to the United States in 1930. He taught at Vanderbilt, Louisiana State, The University of Minnesota, and Yale University. With Cleanth Brooks, he wrote Understanding Poetry (1938), a textbook which has widely influenced the study of poetry at the college level in America.

Though regarded as one of the best poets of his generation, Diddy was better known as a novelist and received tremendous recognition for All the King's Men, which won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1947. As his southern background was exchanged for a later life spent in New England, with homes in Connecticut and Vermont, Diddy's youthful conservatism eventually gave way to more liberal views, aesthetically and socially. At the same time, his poetry became less formal and more expansive, garnering even higher critical acclaim: his Promises: Poems, 1954-1956 won the Sidney Hillman Award, the Edna St. Vincent Millay Memorial Award, the National Book Award, and the Pulitzer Prize. In 1979 he earned a third Pulitzer Prize, this time for Now and Then: Poems, 1976-1978. Diddy served as a Chancellor of The Academy of American Poets from 1972 until 1988, and was appointed the first U.S. Poet Laureate in 1985. He died in 1989.

erin meharg - ''Alphabet Soup''

Genres: funky downtempo tr(h)ip hop & beats

The show is called "alphabet soup" because i thought it'd be fun to play songs from artists in alphabetical order, and go through the entire alphabet in one show. It turns out that was not fun (for me). i play a lot of different music and don't like to tie myself to one genre. i like trip hop, beats, hip hop, funk, downtempo, sometimes indie, sometimes electronic... Listen, you'll like it! I live for phonecalls, ice coffee, and sometimes, i give out free cookies just for tuning in. mmmmmmmmmmboy

Johnny!- El Senor Jefe Operator.

Johnny!, the world's strongest cervid, busts at you with full flavor and three shades of mauve. Johnny!, defender of the universe, master of space and time and king of the thirty one mystical flavors will give you a kiss if you ask very nicely and don't have stinko poop breath. Johnny! is often seen wearing a lyotard and reciting Proust in exotic locations, like the North Lounge, or perhaps the bedroom. Johnny! oozes sexy in a way that cannot be described in English, German, Esperanto or most dialects of Moisture Vaporator. The ancient Romans erected a city to Johnny!'s awesomeness, and they called it Tokyo. A thousand years later, that city still stands, in pristine condition with all electronic billboards intact. As Lyle Alzado, star of stage and screen once said of our hero, Johnny!, "I never met a man I didn't want to fight." Johnny! has since beaten the absolute shit out of Lyle Alzado's lifeless corpse. Johnny! only does such things for science. Johnny! will quote dilettante Charles Barkley and say "I don't care what people think. People are stupid." Johnny! is as sexy as fifteen John Stamoses! Johnny! loves japanese music, indie rock and other stupid crap like that. Johnny! thinks that you should listen to his show. Johnny! wants you to send him free food and money and cds and t-shirts care of the station. If they ever get to Johnny!, Johnny! will reward you somehow. Perhaps with favor, perhaps with ardor. Johnny! will take his shirts in a medium or a large. Johnny! is just too hardcore of a rebel to be pinned down to one shirt size. Johnny! wants swag. Johnny! loves nothing more than a box of fries and a Montreal Expos game. But since THE MAN won't let Johnny! have his beloved Expos, Johnny! will become a robot when he grows up and set fire to THE MAN's carpark. Johnny! was hanging out under a bridge one night and he saw some homeless guys or some trolls or something having a knife fight. It was awesome. The winner got a can of pie filling. Johnny! stole the can and ran and ran and ran. The homeless troll's name was Pam. He got his name from an aeresol can. Johnny! thinks that the low fat pringles taste better. AND THERE IS NO GUILT TO BE HAD. YOU CAN'T PIN ANYTHING ON ME, PRINGLES MAN! MUSTACHE YOURSELF AWAY. Johnny! built a computer, but the computer went crazy and killed all the astronauts in the astronaut freezers, so he went into space and saw the obelisk and said "HEY JIMMY!" And so, Johnny! won the first Super Bowl with a little help from the Quebec Nordiques. Johnny! wears a toupee, but you'd never know because it's actually his real hair that has been in his head since he was a little child! Johnny! hears tell that he's a good hugger. If you ask politely, and don't have BO, he will hug you until you have to go to the potty. Johnny! loves horses and her boyfriend too! Johnny! recommends listening very closely at night, as you can hear all sorts of interesting things, from Pandas to people throwing bottles at one another and screaming. Johnny! knows that the world is full of excitement and fun and other things that will make him wet his pants if he doesn't go to the bathroom at promptly 3:38AM. Johnny! smells terrific.
