WFUV Podcasts Fordham Conversations By Linda Seid Frembes
WFUV, a non-commercial public radio station in New York, has recently begun podcasting "Fordham Conversations," a weekly half-hour program that highlights Fordham University's activities inside and outside of the academic world. The listener-supported station is licensed to the university, a partnership that has lasted for more than 50 years. In addition to public radio programming, local news, and traffic reports, the station also broadcasts an eclectic mix of rock, singer-songwriters, blues, world, and other styles of music.

Headquartered on Fordham's campus in the heart of New York, WFUV is a professionally run station that also employs and trains approximately 70 Fordham University students. The two entities share a close relationship, with a portion of the station's programming addressing Fordham community-related issues with programs such as Fordham Conversations. Hosted by University Producer Nora Flaherty, the program airs on the radio station Saturdays at 7 a.m. and is now available for podcast anytime through the wfuv.org or www.fordham.edu websites. more>>
