Excursions

Back in the late 60s there was free-form FM radio. Great music was bursting out of San Francisco, New York City, and London. Bell bottoms, tie-dye, and psychedelia were emblems of that generation. FM radio provided the soundtrack for some really groovy times.

Fast forward 30 years. Radio is now a wasteland. Huge corporations have glommed on to most of the stations. Many people think that nobody is making compelling music any more because radio as a whole has become sterile and homogenous. Miami Valley listeners are quite lucky. They still have WYSO at 91.3 on their dials.

There is so much amazing music being made these days. You won't hear it on most radio stations in the Miami Valley. Here at WYSO we have the freedom and the desire to share this incredible music with our listeners. Niki Dakota spends three hours every weekday crafting a melange of sounds ranging across the musical spectrum. Blues. jazz, folk, salsa – one never knows what musical treat will come next.

Niki Dakota comes to WYSO after a decade at greater-Cincinnati's WNKU-FM where, among other distinctions, she was voted "Favorite Public Radio Voice" in 2001 by the readers the Cincinnati weekly newspaper, CityBeat.
