Spirit of Winter in Midcoast Maine... Including WERU!
Every winter we like to remind people of this great short film by Chris Lehmann that he produced in 2013, Spirit of Winter in Midcoast Maine. The film features WERU as an audio and community fixture of the region, a way to mark the segments of the day in a warm sounding way. Thanks to Chris for including WERU in his film and we hope everyone takes a look! Read more »

Volunteer Spotlight: Jay Peterson
We asked Jay Peterson a number of questions so that listeners can get to know him a bit better. Jay is the engaging and knowledgeable host of our Friday afternoon, 2:00-4:00 program on WERU, The Rhythm Ranch. Here’s what he had to say for himself:
“I moved to Maine in the winter of 2002, and the family followed in March. I started at WERU in the fall of '02 as part of the rotation on the Saturday Morning Coffeehouse, then moved into the Come Sunday rotation, and then to The Rhythm Ranch is '05 or so. I think I have been on the air on almost every day of the week! February 6 marked the 500th edition of The Rhythm Ranch." Read more »
