It’s time for WRCT’s annual Anatomy of the Ear!
Starting Friday, November 8, our DJs will be collaborating live on air to take you on a journey through the genres WRCT staff enjoy the most. That weekend, afternoons and evenings will be filled with hour-long blocks of your favorite genres — and ones that may be new to you! (You have a collection of Detroit Scam Rap artists, right?)
Watch this space for the schedule — coming soon!
Then expand your mind by tuning in to 88.3 FM, Pittsburgh, or catching the shows at this very website!

Shortly after noon on Wednesday, October 23, old-time fiddle master Bruce Molsky will chat with listeners on WRCT’s Whiskey Before Breakfast.
Bruce is bringing Molsky’s Mountain Drifters to Pittsburgh for Calliope House on Sunday, November 3, at 5:00 p.m.
Bruce is a gifted fiddler, banjoist, and guitarist who embraces Appalachian and other traditional music while also embracing a wide range of other musical styles. As Mark Knopfler put it, “Bruce Molsky is one of those great players who ‘gets it’: has all the links to the past but is happy not to be chained to it.”
Check out Whiskey Before Breakfast this and every Wednesday from 11:00 a.m to about 1:15 p.m. on 88.3 FM, Pittsburgh, and streaming from this very website. And hear what Bruce Molsky has to say just after noon this Wednesday!
On Thursday, October 24, shortly after 8:00 p.m., legendary British Blues guitarist, Kim Simmonds, leader and founder of Savoy Brown will join your rockin’ attorney, Eric Jackson Lurie, for a telephone interview on WRCT’s Court’s in Session.
Friday, November 1, Savoy Brown will be playing at Moondog’s Pub in Blawnox. Kim and the guys have been touring since 1965, but they still play high-energy, bluesy rock’n’roll!
Rolling Stone magazine has named Kim several of their top 50 all time guitarist lists. And his new album City Night is in current airplay on WRCT.
So, tune in to 88.3 FM Thursday at 8:00 p.m. to catch Kim on Court’s in Session. Of course, the show will also be streaming from this very website.
