No Way Out


After 7 years attending UW-Madison and more than 4 years broadcasting on WSUM, we're saddened to announce that we'll be leaving this city and this fine institution in the next couple months. The Way Out is no more. There will be no new broadcasts of the show.

We intend to keep our archives available for the foreseeable future, so please continue to enjoy the many, many hours of programs found here on this website. There are also a lot of archived shows that have never been posted online; we're working to get those edited and we'll share them little by little over the coming months. We're aware, too, that many of the streaming links on this site are currently inactive (the cloud storage service we were using to host the files recently shut down), and we'll go through and get those links refreshed as soon as possible.

A special thanks to Dave Black and all the student volunteers, past and present, who make WSUM such a tremendous radio station. We're so glad to have been a part of it for a little while.

Thanks for listening!

No Wave (Goodbye)


It's the end of another semester. And, in many ways, the end of The Way Out. For personal reasons, we won't be renewing the show for the Spring semester. Meaning that, for the first time in nearly 4 years, The Way Out won't hold a regular weekly slot on WSUM. We'll still be in Madison for at least the next 6 months and we'll drop in for pop-up broadcasts from time to time (follow us on Twitter to get notices about future shows). However, the days of regularly scheduled Way Out broadcasts are over.

For our final proper show, we decided to return to one of our favorite music scenes, the New York no wave movement of the late 1970s and early 1980s. Here's the playlist for our No Wave (Goodbye) episode, which was broadcast on Sunday, December 13, 2015.

Liquid Liquid - "Cavern"
Suicide - "Cheree"
Teenage Jesus & The Jerks - "The Closet"
Theoretical Girls - "Polytonal"
Massacre - "Legs"
James Chance & The Contortions - "Dish It Out"
Kid Creole & The Coconuts - "Mister Softee"
Bush Tetras - "You Can't Be Funky"
The Lounge Lizards - "Do the Wrong Thing"
Mars - "11,000 Volts"
DNA - "Size"
Lizzy Mercier Descloux - "No Golden Throat"
Certain General - "Back Downtown"
Dark Day - "Arp's Carpet"
Material - "Reduction"
Y Pants - "The Shah Song"
ESG - "Erase You"
