with DJ Tea, Mr. Announcer Man & Mickey Fingers
Wednesdays | 1–3PM CST | WDRT 91.9 FM & Mixcloud Archive
Eclectic Wonderland is a vibrant, genre-blending journey through sound. Expect a wild mix of Alternative, Indie, Shoegaze, Surf, Tiki, New Wave, Novelty, Electronic, Experimental, Goth, Glam, Prog, Punk (and Post-), Folk, Bluegrass, and deep-dive College Radio gems from the ’60s to today.
It’s a musical joyride where nostalgia meets discovery - uplifting, weird, heartfelt, and sometimes hilarious. Each week is a new sonic adventure, with curated playlists that celebrate both legendary favorites and rising independent artists from around the world
Our Monthly Format
1st Wednesday — An Alternate Wednesday
Kick off the month with alternate versions of familiar tunes: covers, remixes, mashups, parodies, and surprises that flip your favorites upside down.
2nd Wednesday — Themed Playlist
Each list is built around a creative theme, from seasons and stories to feelings, colors, and vibes. Anything goes — as long as it grooves.
3rd Wednesday — Better Than K-Tel
Our indie spotlight! Featuring independent artists across genres, with a mix of Alternative, New Wave, and tracks that deserve way more love.
4th Wednesday — Audities Show
(Audio Oddities + Auditory Curiosities.) Expect novelty songs, children’s music with a twist, sound collages, experimental works, and the delightfully bizarre.
A Spot of Tea
When a guest artist joins us for music and conversation — often an independent musician sharing their newest release and story.
5th Wednesdays (when they happen!)
Special surprises, wildcards, or experimental sets we’ve been saving just for you.
Submissions, Requests & Magic Mail
We love requests, theme ideas, and new music!
Send us your favorite indie artists, dream playlist topics, or a tune that’s meant the world to you. You just might hear it in a future show.
