WMNF 88.5

WMNF Community Radio is a crown jewel in Seminole Heights........make that in Tampa.

If you live in Seminole Heights and do not listen to WMNF (at least occasionally), you might have move out of the neighborhood.

There is music for everyone. Where else could you find Polka, Hiphop, Grateful Dead, Gospel, Bluegrass, Folk, Latino, 60's, Women musics, Florida Folk, Jazz, Jewish, Caribbean, Reggae, R&B, Salsa, Goth, Metal, Alternative and etc and etc and etc. If you are a moderate, liberal or progressive there are plenty of Public Affairs shows to listen to and get you motivated and excited. If you are a conservative there are plenty of shows to get you riled up and complain to Glenn Beck or Rush Limbaugh about. There is even a radio theatre/playhouse show.

The building is so cool, both inside and outside. It is designed to be a green building, a building that through design minimizes energy costs.

This is the radio station that is connnected to many music events in Tampa, from shows in Skippers Smokehouse, to the Tropical Heatwave.

I've listened for many years, starting off with Folk music then blossoming into a deep Bluegrass music fan. (I used to deride bluegrass music as twang music - now the twangier and higher lonesome the better.) I've already written about my love for the Pat Chamburs Jazz show,

Coming up next week is a summer Minithon (June 28 - July 1) to continue to raise money to support this station. They need volunteers and of course will need pledges.
