Noah Couturier '21

As the pandemic sent the campus to remote learning, Noah Couturier '21 and his colleagues (with advisor Prof. James Hedrick) set up a system to keep WRUC up and running over the summer. An automated playlist, maintained and updated by members of the WRUC board, played a constant stream of music with breaks for station identification.

Musical purists who treasure vinyl will be pleased: “MP3 is great, but I don’t think it sounds as good,” he said. “I like how the LP sounds. It’s more natural.”
