It's with a very heavy heart that we confirm that radio icon Cody Anderson made transition Saturday evening. Cody was instrumental in breathing life into WURD and shepherding it over our almost 20 years, first as General Manager & most recently as a beloved host, mentor & friend.
Today is July 31st, & we want to celebrate the man who started it all. WURD Radio was founded almost 18 yrs ago & is still the only Black owned & operated talk radio station in PA, 1 of 3 in the country. Happy Birthday! Dr. Walter P. Lomax, Jr. We appreciate your contributions!🎈
A decade before the Supreme Court overturned separate-but-equal legislation, Pauli Murray was already fighting for social justice. We’ve got free tickets to a virtual advance screening of the new documentary “My Name is Pauli Murray” -- get yours at !
