Graphic Ear

Each week, we welcome a visual artist into the studio.

We chat about whatever's on their mind & play the music they love.

The show sounds wonderful, thanks to our great team:  Jenn, Maya, Paul, Ria & Thatcher

And of course, our fierce feline leader, Beckett Wood.

Past Episodes

  • 12/07/2023 - Graphic Ear with Nathan Cobbs Aired: Thursday, December 7, 2023

    Listen to the archive edition of Nathan Cobbs' episode on Graphic Ear from December 7, 2023 on WAYO 104.3 FM.

    We chat about life after college, with some unexpected transitions. Then there's art making in a world without assignments, creating spaces and events for young queers, and fashion; the visual presentation of self, and morphing into characters. Just as we're starving for dinner, we do a rundown of some of our fave foods.

  • 11/30/2023 - Graphic Ear with Renée Heininger Aired: Thursday, November 30, 2023

    We chat about the great designs she's created for WAYO fundraisers - and yes, you can still donate! Then there's her adventures in new-to-her media, like riso printing & film photography. She gets to put all these skills into play at her BOCES job - but also with her partner's band (King Buffalo), DaisyGirlScouts, and, of course, her own art. Speaking of bands, being part of a creative couple has its perks - including Burning Man and The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Somehow, we make time for the most important topic, Cooper the super pup!

    Listen to the archive edition of Margot Muto's episode on Graphic Ear from October 19, 2023 on WAYO 104.3 FM.

Then there's the transition from COVID isolation to reconnecting with the world. And upcoming exciting events, both large & small. Finally, wonder pup Sunny Cher takes center stage, as we explore the power of a good walk with a great dog.
