Sometimes I think of Radio Newark as “Short Attention Span Radio.”  I don’t have hours of time to sit and listen, just a few minutes here and there.  I need audio content in bite-sized chunks, not 40 minute blocks.  So most of our programming is short.  The longest piece is 22 minutes and the average length is probably about five or six minutes.  Long segments — over ten minutes — only happen once an hour.

And the program clock changes every hour.  Other than news at the top of the hour (exactly) and at the bottom as well (plus or minus ten minutes), you will find a complete mash-up of audio in between.  I don’t get bored that way.  Hopefully, you’ll enjoy this new kind of a rotation too.

Clearly, we’ve overreached our initial concept of Local Radio.  Two reasons why — but first, here are the links to listen:

iPhone, Mac: Radio Newark MP3.

Windows user: Radio Newark WMA stream right here.

 ALERT!  We’re moving to RadioNewark.ORG!

I’m leaving this site operational, but just to maintain links and provide some continuity.  All of the new goodness is now found ON THE NEW WEBSITE HERE.  Thanks for listening!

 Two reasons why we’ve broadened our scope —

1. There is a LOT of great programming out there of interest to many people around the world.

2. We don’t have the time to train and manage a thundering horde of microphone-wielding wannabe junior reporters.

In our continuing quest for the best in spoken word programming, we have signed additional affiliation agreements or obtained rebroadcasting permission from the Deutsche Welle, Irrational Public Radio, EarthSky, Grownups Read Things They Wrote as Kids, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the Catastrophe Exchange, and Industrial Info Resources.  Yay!

There’s more in the works!  We (the content hounds of Radio Newark) are on “a never-ending quest” for audio so stimulating it SETS YOUR BRAIN ON FIRE.

AND…we’ve built a REAL WEBSITE!  Illuminova Technical Services offered to buy us a ‘skin’ for our Thesis theme that we run on WordPress.  The skin is called New Chapter from a company called Templatica.  Let us know what you think.  We’re building out individual pages for our contributors and programs, as well as $6000 for EVERYONE! **

** I feel like I have to put some kind of a disclaimer, here, because some idiot will take “$6000 for EVERYONE” literally.  So you, dear listerner, can stop reading here.  The rest is for the idiot.

OK — now, Idiot, I want you to know that there’s no $6000 for you or anyone else.  It’s just our little way of surprising a part of your mind that needs a little tickle now and again.  I’m sorry to have troubled you.  Now go back to sleep.  End of disclaimer. **
