Archived Program

The Barry Reisman Show is a program of contemporary and nostalgic klezmer, Yiddish, and Israeli music broadcast every weekday from 9:00 am - 10:00 am. It has been on the air in Philadelphia since 1965, making it one of the longest running programs of any kind in the Delaware Valley. Because the music spans several generations, Barry's audience ranges from young adults on up. Some of the featured artists are The Klezmer Conservatory Band, Ofra Haza, Andy Statman, Sam Glaser, Mordechai Ben David, and Schlock Rock. Every once in a while, Barry goes "down to his basement" to bring some of his old records like Aaron Lebedeff, Mickey Katz, Menashe Skulnick,and The Barry Sisters.
The program also features interviews, phone calls, contests, and lots of fun! Trivia questions and prizes are a regular part of the program. The morning time slot is a perfect way for WNWR listeners to start their day. As Barry says, "Whether you're stuck in traffic or stuck in the kitchen, we'll pull you through!"
