Take It From Einstein!

"I often think in music. I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music. I get most joy in life out of music." --Albert Einstein

You don't have to be a genius to see the value of classical music and jazz in your life...but it's smart to support something that fills you with joy.

Please make a tax-deductible, year-end pledge to WRTI today.

She submitted an etching that, our judges felt, was a beautiful expression of WRTI's diverse cultural community and its ongoing connection to Philadelphia's tri-state region.

"It was very comforting for all of us," she said in an email.

Lead in text: 
A heartfelt look at our beloved BP and the unique role of WRTI in Philadelphia from the website Philebrity.com. Check it out!
Regular readers of this site know that we both support and enjoy a good relationship with WXPN. But the fact is, we have never really mentioned our fondness for one of Philly's other public-ish radio stations, WRTI 90.1FM. Yes, the Temple University-based jazz and classical station that you - yes, probably YOU - totally take for granted.
