RINA
A weekly infusion of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers...musical remedies both natural & synthetic, some locally sourced, some internationally imported. From Cleveland to the Congo, from Bushwick to Brazil.

lush rimbaugh
with
MERRIN FOLTZ & GRACIE HIME
Hosted by two gals who love music, talking, and describing their feelings in incredibly niche ways, lush rimbaugh is a show as reliable as Rush Limbaugh, but hotter and cooler. Each week we are inspired by a local artist to talk about a theme and create a playlist exploring every facet of that theme (ex: dinosaurs, primary colors, echoes). Expect fun science facts, silly questions, and a lot of soul searching while listening to a variety of obscure music. Having started at WashU as part of KWUR ... (08:00 PM - 09:00 PM ET)
Legit Water
with
TOSIN OMOJOLA
The name "Legit Water" comes from a water ad found plastered on the side of a van in Lagos, Nigeria. Much like this ad, "Legit Water," the radio show, promises refreshment and authenticity. Hosted by Tosin Omojola, "Legit Water" is the product of traditional and modern global sounds. Jazz, folk, indie, acoustic, electronic, highlife - this show spans across multiple genres of music found all over the map. "Legit Water" is legit music tied to place, from me to you.

Troubadours & Ranconteurs
with
E.W. CONUNDRUM DEMURE
Poetry, life stories, philosophy, literature, art, science, politics, and the state of the world. You'll hear essays and humor, a poem, perhaps a passage from a great book; occasionally there will be a bit of wisdom, and always some good music. TnR is soulful, it's spiritual, it's smart and sassy, it's sometimes guttural, it's sometimes classy, it's hip, it's working-class blue chip, it's urbanely earnest, on occasion it's a right bit movin', it is particularly human. (10:00 PM - 11:00 PM ET)
Tighten Up Radio

Spanning decades of soul, funk, disco, and everything in between, for an hour each week I'll be spinning everything from dance floor anthems to obscure outsider records - if it makes you dance, its not of ...
