About
“Put your radio on your windowsill now!” Jean Shepherd, late-night WOR DJ, commanded his listeners one night in 1957.
“Do it now! Now! The loudspeaker pointed out—toward the neighborhood… And when I give you the cue, turn that radio up as loudly as it will go.”
Listeners were astonished to hear other voices in their own apartment building, or across the street, or down the alley, echoing with the same insane shout.
— Something in the Air
This project began in 2022 with a series of printed zines about the radio. The first webzine was called Radio Headz.
Behind the Scenes
The calendar is stocked with shows and DJs. The website automatically pulls recommendations every half hour. Sometimes, they might not be accurate as station schedules change.
If there are shows or stations you'd like to see highlighted (or you are a DJ/host), please do write via email:
sylviasbookshelf@protonmail.com
or snail mail:

Platter Art
The art for each station is done by hand. New art submissions are welcome to the snail mail address above.
