Power from the People
M a y 3 0 -J u n e 1 2 !
By Jim Goronson, Listener Sponsor Development Director
“Power From the People” is the theme for
WORT’s late spring/early summer pledge
drive that is taking place Wednesday May
30 through Tuesday June 12!
We do indeed receive power from the
people in our listening area and far beyond
in various ways, including generous
donations and thousands of hours of
volunteer labor. WORT is truly listenersponsored and volunteer-powered! We hope
that you value the fact the WORT is the
radio station for the little guy and gal.
WORT depends upon contributions from
individuals for 65% of our budget. That’s
about $397,000 for fiscal year 2012,
which ends June 30. If we reach the goal of
$60,000 for the “Power From the People”
pledge drive we will significantly reduce—
if not eliminate—a projected budget deficit
for fiscal year 2012!
Ways to pledge:
• Call (608) 256-2001
• Toll free: (866) 899-9678 (WORT)
• Send a donation in the included
envelope
• Pledge securely online at wort-fm.org
With your powerful pledges of support we
will continue to be the People’s Station!

Anything Goes
with Rich Samuels
5 to 8 am Thursdays!
By Rich Samuels
If you prefer your classical music locally grown
and fresh, I urge you to tune into to my 5–8 am
Anything Goes broadcasts on Thursday mornings
where I make a special effort to
feature younger performers and
composers you’re not likely to hear
on other terrestrial radio outlets.
Madison’s New Muse new music ensemble in
anticipation of its first “Muse Fest,” a May 5
series of concerts at various State Street venues.
In all these segments I integrated interviews
with young artists with their
performances; I believe it’s
important that they learn to
effectively market the music
for which they have an obvious
passion, and, as you probably
know, classical music these days
can be a tough sell.
Thanks to concert recordings

Happy May!
Please join us in celebrating with members of the
WORT family…
In February, Bill & Bobbie Malone celebrated the
15th on-air anniversary of Back To The Country.
Also in February, Rockin’ John McDonald hosted his
1700th show with a 50’s Rock N’ Roll program.
On May 1, Ena Foshay, host of A Musical Offering
and rotating host
of Musica Antiqua
gave birth to
Beatrix Foshay.

tuning into WORT!
And some sad news…
Long-time supporter of WORT Nels Nelson passed
away on April 1, 2012. Nels was the owner of
Mildred’s Sandwich Shop on E. Johnson Street.
Through WORT’s business underwriting program,
Nels supported the station for over 15 years.
Mildred’s Sandwich Shop sponsored many different
programs over the years, including Mud Acres,
Mel & Floyd, Back to the Country, Entertainment,
Democracy Now!, The Original Wilson Brothers,
Songs of Safety and Manners, Hootenanny, and Dead
Serious. Nels was a peaceful and loving man who
enjoyed gardening, cooking, hunting, good music

WORT 89.9 FM (608) 256-2001
| Spring 2012
and spending time with family. In addition to
tenderly caring for his daughters, Nels always had
cats to whom he devoted extraordinary attention.
Nels taught himself to play guitar and played in
a local band called Medicine Hat for some years,
and has always loved music of all kinds. He was an
advocate of peace and honesty, with a strong sense of
community and a penchant for traveling, especially
with his daughters. His patrons, friends and family
know him as an honest, gentle, hard-working and
kind man with a good sense of humor.
In station news…
WORT’s Long Range Planning (LRP) process
is nearing completion. Work groups (Staffing,
Technology and Facilities, Audience Development
and Fundraising, Programming, and Governance)
met four times from January through March.
Fourteen proposals were presented in a public
session on Wednesday, March 28 at the Goodman
Community Center, attended by over 50 volunteers,
Board, staff and community members. The
conversation continued on A Public Affair on April
10. Feedback on the proposals submitted at the
community meeting, via the WORT 2020 blog, and
during the on-air discussion was compiled by the
LRP Planning. On May 16, the Board will discuss
the final recommendations coming out of this
process. For more detailed information visit the LRP
blog: wort2020.org.
WORT’s Community Advisory Board recently added
new members, Tish Lafferty and Zaher Karp. The
CAB will be taking a break over the summer and
will resume their meeting schedule in September
when they will begin discussing plans for future
“Friend-raisers.”
En Nuestro Patio volunteers Eugenia Highland and
Roberto Yanez organized and coordinated tours and
workshops on April 3 at the station for 60 middle
school students who participated in the Latino Youth
Summit, a program of Centro Hispano and the
UW–Madison.
On April 21, WORT participated in International
Record Store Day at four locations in Madison,
including a live remote broadcast from Strictly Discs
during Tropical Riddims and PanAfrica. WORT DJs
also spun tunes at Sugar Shack, B-Side Records and
the Exclusive Company.
Sales of the WORT cookbook, This is What
Democracy Cooks Like, continue at a steady rate.
The 350-page book contains numerous photos from
the Capitol protests and over 250 recipes, including
submissions from many of the “Fab 14.” The book
is available at the station, 118 South Bedford Street
from 9am to 6pm Monday through Friday and can
be paid for by check, cash, and credit/debit cards
(Master Card and Visa.) The books are $25 each
with shipping available for an additional $5.
Order on-line or print out a mail-in order form at:
wort-fm.org. The books are also available at: Rainbow
Bookstore, Lakeside Press, Manna Café, Community
Pharmacy, Orange Tree Imports, Absolutely Art, and
the Wisconsin Historical Museum store. Shrinkwrapped copies will be available at the WORT booth
during the summer festival season. The “heavy lifters”
in the cookbook project (Robin Good, Nancy Mae,
and Anna Hahm) were nominated for the Community
Volunteer Awards organized by the United Way of
Dane County.
On May 6, “Cheddar Revolution: Songs of Uprising”
had a CD release party at the High Noon Saloon.
The project, funded with a grant from the UW
Teaching Assistants Association, produced a CD
of songs from the 2011 Wisconsin Uprising which
was distributed free to attendees. Though much of
the music was submitted to WORT, the project was
not a station project. WORT Music Director Sybil
Augustine co-produced the CD with Fred Schepartz.
For more information: wisconsinprotestsongs.com
WORT’s 3rd annual On-Air Auction held on
Saturday, April 14 was a great success. We received
$4,930 in bids (just shy of our $5K goal), raising
more funds with this one-day auction than we did
last year during our two-day auction! Special thanks
to Tanya Warden, who assisted with procuring and
organizing donated items. Thanks also to Carol
Bracewell for the great auction mailer art, to our
programmers and auctioneers, and to the volunteers
who came in to take bids! WORT’s programming is truly award-winning! Our
coverage from the 2011 Wisconsin Uprising was
awarded second place in the “Special Event” category
by the Wisconsin Broadcasters Association at a
ceremony on May 5. The award is for coverage by
News Facilitator Molly Stentz, with assistance from
JoAnne Pow!ers and Free Speech Radio News Editor
Catherine Komp.
Congratulations and farewell to John Anderson, a
member of WORT’s Programming Committee and
reporter for In Our Back Yard. John has accepted
a position as Assistant Professor and Director
of Broadcast Journalism at Brooklyn College’s
Department of TV and Radio. John also recently
signed a book deal with Routledge for Radio’s Digital
Dilemma: Broadcasting in the 21st Century.
