Don’t Forget the Blues with Scooter Magruder

Hosted by Scooter Magruder

Don’t Forget the Blues with Warren “Scooter” Magruder uses storytelling to guide listeners through the history of vintage R&B and the blues. A D.C. native, Magruder has been a party street DJ since 1973 and a voice on DMV radio since 1988, joining WPFW at the invitation of the program director. He frames the show as an act of remembrance for Black America’s original music and a demonstration of how those roots paved the way for nearly every American style that followed. Whether spinning records or hosting Community Watch and Comment, his aim is the same: news you can use, a message of hope, and musical memories that set the mood.
