Dina Nina Martinez Interviews Gregg Potter

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!

Per usual Nina Dina has again provided and entertaining and informative interview. She interviews Gregg Potter on how to travel better, more safely and with purpose. Gregg and Dina clearly connect and make this not only informative but very entertaining. Gregg provides guidance on LGBTQ+ travel (advice, by the way, that is useful for everyone) and encourages us to get out and learn by meeting others where they live. Gregg doesn’t limit the advice to long distance travel but encourages us to go out and see Wisconsin, the Midwest and the rest of the USA.

Gregg also provides information on how to travel (here and abroad) in the midst of what he aptly describes as “Draconian laws” that negatively impact LGBTQ+ folk. He encourages us to be intentional about our travel. The where, how and why. What is the purpose of your trip; be realistic and flexible; stay open to change and don’t be afraid to try something new. This interview is all about joy, laughter and making the most of the trip you decide to take.
