But it's no small potatoes cracking the 1,000th live broadcast milestone. Shapiro started his show at WVBR's studio, then located in the basement of Willard Straight Hall. The aspiring DJ started out spinning vinyl, but he soon added live performances by local musicians to the mix.
Admission is free for the public.
Our live audience is known far and wide as the best folk audience in the country. We have famous performers come back again and again. Others performers, like Howie Bursen, have topped even that impressive figure. He gets calls from agents and performers all the time. Musicians who don't necessarily need exposure seek a night with Shapiro and friends.
