Defend Public Radio Winter Jam Brings Local Music Together for WDIY 88.1 FM (MUSIC VIDEOS)
Local music, local radio, and local support came together at the Defend Public Radio Winter Jam in Bethlehem.
The benefit show brought a strong crowd to the Ice House to support WDIY 88.1 FM, Lehigh Valley’s community-powered public radio station. The afternoon featured live sets from Dear Misty, Lovecartel, We’re From Antarctica, and Drew & The Blue, each bringing their own sound and energy to a lineup built around one shared goal: showing up for public radio.
Events like this are a reminder that WDIY exists because the community supports it. From local music discovery to independent voices and nonprofit programming, WDIY continues to be a vital part of the Lehigh Valley media landscape, and this show was a clear example of that support in action.
Check out some music from We’re From Antartica, Dear Mistay, and Lovecartel.

What started as three filmmakers meeting at a Wegmans café has grown into one of the Lehigh Valley’s most collaborative creative communities. In this episode, George talks with Dawn Daignault, Michael Sheridan, and Vince Stahl, the founders of Route 22 Filmworks — a grassroots filmmaking group that now boasts more than 200 members and an annual film festival at Bethlehem’s Ice House.
We discuss the group’s origins, how they’ve built a space where newcomers and seasoned pros collaborate on no-budget films, and why their festival focuses on showcasing local talent. They also share behind-the-scenes stories, the unique challenges of keeping films under 20 minutes, and why they believe the Valley’s indie film scene is thriving.
