Reveal Intelligent Radio

Hey there Music Fans!

Dr. J is now part of the Reveal Radio family!  Your Tuesday Afternoon Alternative will do an Internet radio program every Wednesday from 2-5pm Eastern Time zone followed by our good friend Gretchen Kelly’s ‘In The Rough’ radio show!  What could be more punk than a Tuesday show on Wednesday?  We could not be happier about collaborating with an effort focused on music in all genres, formats and approaches.

Reveal Radio began in 2012 as a radio show created by musician. Producer, Sound Technician Rob Puricelli.  From Rob’s efforts to connect listeners to interesting, fun and new music, Radio Pure Gently was born.  RPG’s mission was to embrace music in all of its forms.  The approach was simple: recognize the influence of the classic performers in popular music while encouraging exploration of new music across genres.

From RPG, Reveal launched in 2017.  The focus is on music.  Period.  Presenters create the playlists not any corporate behemoth as is all too common.  The DJs play what interests and moves them.  At Reveal, there are presenters and hosts with varied musical ideas from all around the world broadcasting 24/7 online because they are committed to exploring music.  No agendas, which will be refreshing, right?

Reveal’s more well-known shows include Friday Night Live with Rob Puricelli, Synthetix Sundays with Marko Maric, Soiree 80s, The Diamond Field Radio Show with Andy Diamond, The Things That Dreams Are Made of with Daniel X. Belasco as well as the regular Thursday show.

You can now hear YTAA on Tuesdays at WUDR (online & 99.5/98.1fm) from 3-6pm Eastern and a freewheeling fun online version on Wednesdays from 2-5pm on Reveal.  Join us for one show or heck, maybe both.  See you on Tuesdays and Wednesdays!

One of the cool musicians Dr. J met last year in London was Shamus Dark!  His noir take on the Joy Division classic is a must listen.

Stronger Streams

Change is the only real constant in the universe.  Join us on Tuesday for an all new Your Tuesday Afternoon Alternative currently broadcast on WUDR Flyer Radio!

If you listen online, please note that audio stream has been upgraded using Real Media.

While the ‘Now Playing’ and the full playlist are not currently fully enabled, that will happen to the stream in the near future as the engineering and programming staff are able to engage those parts of the service. So, if part of the display box is empty – worry not, that functionality is forthcoming.  

If you have any problems with the new stronger stream via wudr.udayton.edu, please let us know so we can report any problems to the engineering staff.

Also in big news, we are moving into webcasting, podcasts, and Independent Internet radio!  YTAA is now beginning a partnership with the Radio Pure Gently family and will be offering a version of our show online!  This is especially exciting because there are already some amazing programs on RPG and we are very excited to create an online program with such a great partner!

See you tomorrow! 3-6pm on wudr.udayton.edu – follow the show on twitter at drjytaa!
