The Missing Link

My main program on WRUW is The Music Gallery on Saturdays at 11. But I also provide the music for “The Missing Link” that airs early Saturday mornings.

By donating from this page, you will not only be supporting WRUW, but also showing your appreciation for my program, The Missing Link.

If you enjoy the broad mix of music that I present here on Saturday mornings, this is your chance to show your support. Please make a donation to help us keep great music on the air for you. If your job has a matching gift program, you can make your gift even more effective. And since WRUW is part of Case Western Reserve University, your gift is tax deductible.

As our way of thanking you for your support, you can choose items from our WRUW catalog (below). Lots of great apparel and other items with the WRUW logos, so you can show your friends that WRUW is important to you.

Many people don’t care about college radio. They don’t understand how much it contributes to the rich cultural fabric that surrounds us here in northeastern Ohio. But if you’re reading this, and if you are listening to the broad mix of multi-genre programming that WRUW brings to you, then you are not one of those people. You do care about WRUW and college radio. You are part of a small, but devoted, community of listeners. Please help us continue to do what we do.

Thank you very much for your support!

“The Missing Link” came about as a result of the COVID pandemic. It features a broad range of music, including jazz, rock, pop, swing, blues, Americana, and more.

The pandemic created a lot of challenges for WRUW. The biggest, of course, was that we were locked out of our studios! To get around that, we built a custom computerized automation system that lets the station operate unattended. And then we found ways to create programming that worked in that situation.

Another hardship, though, was that many of our student programmers were now off campus and far away. So we had to fill our 24/7 schedule with a very short staff. Some of the veteran programmers at WRUW took on new programs in addition to their regular shows. The Missing Link is one such program. And though we are no longer in crisis mode, we still have a few overnight slots that are curated by WRUW veterans who want to make sure that we are able to keep great music coming your way 24/7.
