Hello!

WFMU is reviving its print zine, Lowest Common Denominator (LCD), and is calling on artists, writers, illustrators, and creatives to submit their work for the next issue. Whether it's art, comics, essays, or anything else, submissions are open, with the theme being "forgotten and re-emerging media formats." The deadline is January 15th—submit online or by mail. More Info here! Meanwhile, catch up on WFMU’s 2024 year-end specials roundup of the station’s best programs from the past year, curated by the DJs themselves. A big thanks to Carol from Serious Moonlight Sonatas for organizing them into one cohesive list! Take a look and listen here.

Happy New Year everyone, and see ya in 2025!
