Tim Smith

Songs should make you think/feel/move your body. I try to make each show distinctive, which means not relying on the same artists time after time. You're going to hear as many women's voices as men on my show because a) I love female vocalists and b) many commercial radio stations play very few female singers.

WYCE's Spring Fund Drive is on its way - Friday, April 21st through 28th! - as we take a look back in celebration of 30 years of listener-powered music radio in West Michigan!

The unique music variety we've shared for three decades is made possible 100% by donations by our listener sponsors... We need you to keep doing your part! 

We receive no funds from any university, religious organization, or from the government. So tune in April 21st through 28th to make your financial contribution! 

It's not too early to donate online at WYCE dot org! Your early gift may be used as challenge funds - encouraging others to give during the drive - motivating those individuals to take the big step from listener -- to listener-sponsor!
