2012 National Student Production Awards
Tuesday, August 28th, 2012 by The Professor
Well, it’s that time of year again… They are starting to announce the Finalists for the National Student Production Awards. In each category the judges select up to 4 Finalists, all of whom get a small Finalist trophy. The Finalists are announced now, but the actual Winner selected from the Finalists, is held in secret until the awards ceremony October 27th in Atlanta. The Finalist announcements are being trickled out slowly so they can prolong the agony. With quite a few more categories to go, WLOY has already placed in the Finalist group for 2 categories:
Best Podcast – Both Feet In “Lohr’s Part 1”
Best Regularly Scheduled Program – What Happens Next? Episode 76
Best Community Outreach – Both Feet In
We are happy to note that both of these programs took home Winner trophies last year and are thrilled to now be able to say they’re MULTIPLE NATIONAL AWARD WINNING SHOWS 🙂
More to be added, we hope, as the rest of the Finalists are announced. Stay Tuned!
UPDATED – WLOY is also a Finalist for Best Community Outreach!
POST-CBI UPDATE: WLOY took home the gold for “Best Podcast” at the award ceremony this weekend. Congratulations to us!!

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.
