BARNARD'S "FAR TOO CANADIAN" RADIO SHOW AMONG BEST IN NEW YORK CITY, ACCORDING TO VILLAGE VOICE

New York, NY, December 6, 2001– WBAR, Barnard’s own student-run radio station has been cranking out music for the last thirteen years. A part of this unique programming, Veronica Liu’s weekly FAR TOO CANADIAN radio show, has recently been named one of the best in the city by the Village Voice.

FAR TOO CANADIAN is a weekly show that celebrates Canadian music, playing everything from the quintessentially Canadian Tragically Hip to obscurities like the Inbreds. Liu even throws in artists who are assumed to be American such as Neil Young and Skinny Puppy. Between songs, Liu fills the show with stories from Canada.

Though her accent "isn’t strong enough to warrant South Park-style ridicule, her between-song fun facts and tales from the Great White North are just as entertaining," the Voice says.

Liu’s show can be heard on WBAR 87.9FM on Tuesdays from 4-6 p.m. Check www.wbar.org for scheduling updates.
