Paul, our station manager for WWPV has been working hard on improving the station this summer. The Westport Public Library, in Westport, Connecticut holds a large book sale each summer. This past weekend was the 26th annual summer book sale by Westport. This year’s featured more than 70,000 deeply discounted items in over 70 categories from A-Z. Paul reached out to Westport Public Library last week in hopes of getting donations, specifically media for library like CDs and Vinyl LPs. At the end of sale, leftover books are made available to multiple organizations, including preschools, schools with limited book budgets, special care homes for children, juvenile detention centers, women’s shelters, domestic violence shelters and prisons. Books have also been collected and sent to Africa, India, and the Philippines by concerned citizens. Any remaining books are recycled into paper. As it turns out, the Library was able to donate many records and CDs to WWPV, ranging from all different genres which will be able to be used by many DJs this fall and for many years to come. A big thank you to Westport Library for their generous donation. All of us at the station really appreciate it!

Hey everyone! My name is Jason (he/him/his) and I’m the Music Director here at WWPV. I’m in my final year at Saint Mike’s and I’m majoring in International Relations and minoring in Spanish and Environmental Studies. I’m originally from Malden, MA which is a super culturally diverse suburb just outside Boston.

As Music Director, I manage the “sound” of WWPV. Even though we allow DJs to play almost any genre of music during their shows, my job is to curate our collection of CDs and tracks that are available to our DJs for airtime. I spent a lot of the first semester this year updating our collection by branching out to different record labels to see if they’d be interested in getting airtime at WWPV. I would love to see this continue under the reigns of a new Music Director next year. This year has been a great year for WWPV, we’ve been much more active in the Burlington community and I’m excited to see what the new executive does with this new momentum.

Hello, everyone, I’m Paul, your Public Service Announcement/News Director! I’m a physics major. When I am not on the air you can find me on campus either with the Society of Physics Students or Men’s Rugby.

As the News & PSAs director, it is my job to keep track of everything unrelated to music that is put on the air. Which includes managing and updating the public service announcements and legal ids. I also put together the schedule of events going on campus and around Burlington for DJs to use during their shows. If you want to have your events added to the news binder, all you have to do is ask, my email is pstumpf@mail.smcvt.edu.

The Spotify playlist below is filled with some of my favorite songs. A few are quite new but don’t worry there are some classics too. Either way, you should give them a listen cause you’ll never know if you like it until you give it a shot.
