There is a wealth of talent in the air at WUSB, and each week in this workshop, we will discover and meet with some of their stars.
Rather than a lecture, our format will be our own OLLI members interviewing these radio DJs, from shows like "Jazz on the Air," "Bluegrass Time," "Sunday Street Acoustic," "Shades of Blues “ and “Cafe Ali."
Each of these DJs brings an eclectic mix of music and informative talk. We will also meet with hosts of several talk shows, such as "Uncritical Thinking," “The Play it Forward Project” and "Health Matters."
Workshop DetailsWHEN: Tuesdays, 3:30–4:45 pm WHERE: Stony Brook Union Auditorium WHO: Current OLLI members who selected the workshop with their Spring 2026 registration. Others are welcome to attend individual sessions on a space-available basis. |
