The WFMU 2015 fundraising Marathon is in effect! Make a pledge or call us now at 800-989-9368 and help us make our goal. Check out the new swag, new DJ Premiums, and more!

Don't miss WFMU Movie Night on April 2nd, featuring a screening of Peter Watkins' 1967 film "Privilege." Presented by Rich Hazelton of Inflatable Squirrel Carcass, this great rock 'n' roll film stars Paul Jones (sang "Do Wah Diddy Diddy" with Manfred Mann), and Jean Shrimpton (helped introduce the miniskirt). Upon initial release, the national theatre circuit in England would not show the film due to its "immoral nature." Tickets here.
Tons of WFMU DJs, pets and fixtures await your virtual adoption, in our 2015 Marathon Adoption Gallery! Help WFMU with a paid pledge of $180 or more and earn naming rights to a fixture, or donate $365 to adopt a DJ at the WFMU Magic Factory. Every marathon adoption comes with naming rights for the fixture in question, and an adorable little plaque affixed to it with your name on it. Pledge early to get first dibs!
