“Word on the Street” Gets More Press
Tuesday, January 8th, 2013 by The Professor
We were pretty excited when the paper we support “Word on the Street” got a couple of recent mentions in the local press. We were more excited when Marc Steiner interviewed members of the paper on his show on WEAA. Now the paper has front page coverage in the Baltimore Sun! Rumor has it that NBC is interested as well! This is a great start to a new year! You can support Word on the Street too!

WLOY and Word on the Street Highlighted
Thursday, December 6th, 2012 by The Professor
Nothing like some bonus press for the work we do. After a mention in the Baltimore Sun and front page coverage in the great DC street paper Street Sense, we follow it up with a piece in Loyola Magazine. It’s always good to let the rest of the world know we do more than just spin some records now and then!

Filiohno – WLOY’s Eating Machine
Monday, October 1st, 2012 by WLOY Staff
Alex successfully defends her title at Hampdenfest 2012 by speed eating her way through an innocent piece of Cafe Hon’s amazing bread pudding, complete with caramel sauce and whipped cream. She toyed with the other competitors to make them feel like they had a chance and then crushed their hopes like they were little bugs. All hail Filiohno! And keep away when she’s hungry!

Silopanna 2012 – A Review of Sorts
Wednesday, August 15th, 2012 by WLOY Staff
Silopanna Festival was this weekend, so two amazing WLOY volunteers – Tenley, our photographer, and Brennan, our field reporter – and I took the trip to Annapolis to check out the set. The festival had a sort of mature feel to it; most of the attendees were older, and many were hippies. As we walked around, we took note of the atmosphere, highlighted by a giant lumberjack statue at the front of the fairground, public cornhole games, and Bud Light Limes.
We all know the headliners – CAKE, Citizen Cope, G. Love & Special Sauce – but what we were really looking forward to was the local acts. However, being three different people, we fittingly formulated three different accounts of the day, translated below.
Christa:
Most Anticipated: Sweet Leda. They played at Loyola back in the spring as part of WLOY’s Thursday night concert series, and I was looking for something even fuller and more fun than what they had to offer last semester. And, with easier access to booze, I anticipated some awkward onstage banter as well.

Wendel Patrick, Saleem & Caleb Stine Late Night
Wednesday, July 11th, 2012 by The Professor
A great night for all. We opened with Caleb Stine, great local songwriter with a deep roots vibe, and killer guitar chops. Caleb was then joined by great local rapper Saleem (without his Music Lovers band), with whom he had created an album of rap/roots music. Then Saleem was joined by local producer/singer/beat wizard Wendel Patrick (aka mild-mannered Professor Kevin Gift) for a round of hip-hop and jazz-infused electronic fun.

Bosco Interview & Performance
Thursday, June 14th, 2012 by The Professor
On May 15, 2012, Brittany Bosco and her bandmates stopped by the station to put on a quick show for us. We set up an impromptu performance space in the main lobby of the building, complete with moving blankets to try to knock down some of the sound – of which there was a lot! They were great, and put up with our quickly improvised production setup very nicely. Check out more Bosco online.
Then they sat down for an interview
