Mark your calendar for WERU’s Summer Concert Series featuring Maine musical talents in different locations around the state!

Let’s get together!
We have recently updated the WERU app, making the interface more streamlined and user friendly! It’s basically a website for your phone. Don’t have it downloaded yet? Follow the links below to the Apple App Store and Google Play Store! On the app, you can listen to WERU’s live broadcast and on-demand recordings of music and spoken-word programming, and see what song is playing at the very moment it is broadcast. You can also connect to our social media, subscribe to our newsletter, read station news, and more! If you have any suggestions or questions, get in touch at [email protected], which you can do right through the app. We value your feedback and experiences with our community radio platforms!

You can still donate online anytime on our website, and via the WERU mobile app. Many thanks for contributing to the programming you love – and we love creating!
We know the media landscape is changing, here in Maine and elsewhere. Where do we get our news and information, and how do we test it for accuracy? And how does today’s media intersect with making decisions in a democracy? These and more questions are discussed in the most recent editions of Democracy Forum and Talk of the Towns.
Ticks are out and biting, so it’s time for our yearly update on ticks, Lyme Disease, and other tick-borne illnesses, with tick and Lyme specialist, Dr. Beatrice Szantyr.

In previous programs in this series, we looked at some of the possible effects of climate change on the way life could be in Maine in the not too distant future. On May’s program, we look at some forces already at work today – climate change as well as the recent rediscovery of so-called “forever chemicals” in Maine soil and water – and what these forces may mean for people who grow food, both as professional farmers and as backyard gardeners.
Day Dream Nation, Saturday evenings 6:00-8:00, is a lively program featuring many genres presented by three fine DJs: Kristie, Zoe and Jack Fonchezzz. Click read more to meet them!
