Campaign to Support Making Spaces Program in MMSD

WORT Music Playlists

What was that song I heard? Who was the artist, what is the album title, where can I get it? Where can I find the entire playlist for a show?

Click on the Playlists button to bring up a calendar where you can choose any date to find the playlists for that day. If you can’t find the right playlist or the song you’re looking for, your best bet is to call the station the next time that program’s on and ask the host yourself. If that’s not possible we may be able to help you, but please have as much information as possible at hand when you contact us, such as: approximate day and time the music was played, what type or genre of music it was, who hosted the show and any other information you remember about the selection and we’ll do our best to track it down.

How do I get my music played on WORT?

We accept submissions in most genres and styles of music, focusing on noncommercial, out-of-the-mainstream, independent releases (check out our playlists and music charts for more information.) It may take up to a few weeks for us to review and process your submission so we appreciate your patience, and feel free to contact us to follow up. Please send your music, indicating any tracks with language that needs to be aired after 10 pm and including a one-sheet description and any biographical and tour information, to WORT Music Director, 118 S. Bedford St, Madison, WI 53703 and/or to musicdirector@wortfm.org.

We do accept digital files on .wav or mp3, but currently we still prefer CDs to digital submissions because it’s the quickest way to get it into the hands of our programmers and onto the airwaves, though we have a growing digital library. Digital submissions should be .wav or other lossless files, or high quality mp3s [128-320 kbps.]

You can follow up or “track” your submissions by email, or call 608-256-2001 on Wednesdays between 1-4 pm CST to ask if we received it, has it been reviewed, has it been added to our library, and what kind of airplay it’s getting—e.g. light, medium, heavy or charting. Thanks and we look forward to hearing your music!

The Bubbler at Madison Public Library, Madison Metropolitan School District, and the Foundation for Madison Public Schools have teamed up to support maker education in our schools! Brian Standing is joined in the studio by Rebecca Millerjohn, Youth Services Librarian, Madison Public Library – Sequoya and Jennifer Milne-Carroll, Library Media Technology Specialist, Whitehorse Middle School.

Each school is looking for support from community members like you to get the word out. They have created a fundraising campaign with the support of the Foundation for Madison Public Schools that will help fund these innovative new projects. You can help your school reach their fundraising goal by sharing their story and information about their Making Spaces initiative and encouraging those in your networks to make a donation to support maker education in Madison schools. Schools have until December 1st to meet their individual fundraising goal. With the support of the Madison community, the Bubbler will continue to support the Making Spaces project with 5-7 new schools included in the 2017-2018 school year. Learn more about each school’s vision and donate to support their initiatives at www.madisonbubbler.org/bubblermakingspaces Direct Donations can be made to the Foundation for Madison’s Public Schools by selecting the Making Spaces Fund at: fmps.org/donate/making–spaces-fund
