KZSM.org offers a rich variety of music programming. Whether or not they focus on a particular genre, each of our broadcasts bears the unique stamp of the host’s imagination. Our newest offering, “The Weekly Show” (Wednesdays 10-11 p.m.), is no exception. Host Mason Moore gives listeners a glimpse of “what happened in music history this week,” with an emphasis on local performers but including “anything that happened back to fifty years ago.”
For example, the week before Moore’s first show January 25 saw the debut of “Meet the Beatles!,” Don McLean’s “American Pie,” and Otis Redding’s “(Sittin’ on) the Dock of the Bay,” among other hits, all included in the playlist.
To create that playlist, Moore does some internet research but will often “just go through music I like to see when it came out.” “The music comes from all genres — no restrictions,” he continues, including “old-time music, current rock, indie, Spanish music, or little bit of hip-hop. If it sounds good, I’ll play it!”
