To make her new album, Light, Dark, Light Again, Angie McMahon had to walk through the fire. The Melbourne singer-songwriter’s second LP was written from the ashes of a tough but transformative few years of relationship changes, private breakdowns and core-shaking revelations about self. At times, McMahon felt like falling apart. But instead, she pushed through and found that hope, joy and relief lies on the other side of pain.
The inevitability of change, the push and pull and between light and dark, and the natural cycles of the world are all over Light, Dark, Light Again, which marks McMahon’s step into a bolder, bigger, brighter expanse of sound than she has utilised before. Whether she is documenting her own metamorphosis on Saturn Returning, rumbling with rage, power and reverence for the earth on Mother Nature, celebrating release on Letting Go or pledging to step into the bravest version of herself on Exploding, McMahon’s songs feel like a triumph; music that buoys and cradles you.
Light, Dark, Light Again is a record about facing the fear and learning it can be a portal to something bigger and better. It finds that the only certainty in life is that everything ends, and everything begins again – that there is life and death and life again, that there is light and dark and light again.

Telethon is coming! This is the one time a year we ask for your help to grow and improve WRUW-FM. Support us by donating online NOW or make a donation by calling in during Telethon week! Visit telethon.wruw.org now to donate to your favorite shows and check out the awesome new premiums we’re offering as gifts for your donation. You’ll be hearing our DJs pitch to you all this week so please excuse any change in our normal 24/7, 365 days a week, programming. Which happens, by the way, because of support from listeners like you.
About 60% of our annual operating budget comes from Telethon. Past telethons have paid for our increase to 15,000 watts, our web streaming, our archives, our digital signal, new studios, and last year a brand new transmitter! This year, it’s our goal to raise another $91k to pay for the installation of this massive piece of metal!
From April 7 at 12 a.m. though April 13 at 11:59 p.m., listeners can donate online at telethon.wruw.org or by calling 216.368.2208 from 8 a.m. until 10 p.m. each day.

WRUW-FM 91.1 Cleveland’s annual Telethon fundraiser begins Monday, March 23 and runs until Sunday, March 29. Telethon is the one time of the year that we ask for financial contributions to support our mission of preserving the college radio listening experience and bringing “more music, fewer hits,” to the Greater Cleveland airwaves, as well as globally, via online streaming at wruw.org.
WRUW-FM is Case Western Reserve University’s independent, non-commercial radio station, broadcasting freeform music programs ranging from jazz, EDM, metal, folk, indie, showtunes and more 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. WRUW showcases local talent live on-air during “Live From Cleveland” and amplifies the voices of our community on public affairs programming like “It’s About Justice”, “Voices and Choices”, and “Gaywaves” in addition to being the largest carrier of the weekday syndicated news program “Democracy Now” in the state of Ohio.
In 2025, listener donations made it possible for us to purchase a new radio transmitter, reel-to-reel machine, two new digitizing robots, and live broadcast equipment. This year, we are focusing on raising money to cover the cost of installation of the new transmitter and supporting technology. This investment in our signal will improve sound quality, prevent drop outs, and fix other technical issues, giving our audience the best listening experience possible.
2026 has been a challenging year for non-commercial radio with dwindling arts-based funding and competition for control over the FM dial at an all-time high. WRUW-FM is vital to Cleveland’s music ecosystem, providing an accessible means for anyone to hear new, alternative sounds and underrepresented voices. This year, our college radio community has demonstrated their amazing ability to band together to protect freedom of expression on the left side of the dial. We encourage people to call from March 23-29 to 216.368.22008 to make their donation or contribute online at telethon.wruw.org to help us meet our fundraising goals and support our mission.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
