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.

Once you figure it out, there’s a “Buy It!” link next to each track in online playlists that leads you to a place where you can buy songs and albums, and by doing it that way a small portion of each purchase goes to support WORT.

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!

Ingredients:

Braised Beef Shank
1 or 2 boneless beef shanks, about 1 1/2 or 2 pounds each (you can find these in most Asian grocery stories in town)
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup rice wine (such as shao xing, but sake also works)
2 cups water
Two whole green onions, ends trimmed
3 to 4 slices ginger
8-10 Sichuan peppercorns
1 anise seed

Braised Beef Shank Directions

Wash beef shanks and trim excess fat if necessary. Place in large pot with rest of ingredients.

Bring to boil. Cover tightly, turn heat to low and simmer for approximately two hours. Flip both shanks (add additional water if liquid is low), cover again and continue to cook for another two hours.

Get shanks cook so they are easy to cut by cooling them in the refrigerator. Reserve any of the liquid left from braising for the broth.

When full soup is prepared you will cut the beef crosswise into thin slices.

Noodle Soup Ingredients
Chinese noodles (you can find fresh noodles in any of the Asian grocery stores around town in the refrigerated section, but you can also used dried wheat or rice noodles)
Chicken broth
Water
Salt and pepper
Soy sauce
Greens (e.g. spinach, napa cabbage, bok choy)
Slivered scallions or chives

Noodle Soup Directions

In a soup pot, combine one can of broth, two cans of water and reserved sauce from the beef shank to desired taste (I like a beefy broth, so I usually add most of what’s left over). Bring to a boil and adjust flavorings (salt, pepper, additional reserved sauce or a touch of soy sauce) as necessary. Set aside.

Bring a large pot of water to boil. Add greens to blanch for a few seconds, remove and set aside. Cook noodles as directed (do not overcook) and drain.
Divide noodles into large bowls. Add a few greens and a generous serving of beef shank slices. Ladle in soup broth. Top with green onion slivers and serve steaming hot.

Makes enough broth for two big servings.

You can freeze any left over beef shank for later hankerings of this soup.
