With WAMU’s fall capital campaign underway, Capital Soundtrack is going on hold for one week. We will be dedicating our local news breaks to the critical work of raising funds for the station’s future.

Plus, your tax-deductible donation goes toward keeping all the programs you love on our airwaves. Make the reason you listen the reason you give. Donate to WAMU 88.5 today.

Capital Soundtrack will be back in full force Monday, Oct. 24 Saturday, Oct. 22. Update: We’re back early!

What does Washington sound like? Capital Soundtrack, a new music project from WAMU 88.5, explores that question. This summer, we’re turning over our airwaves to musicians from D.C., Maryland and Virginia. We’re doing that by overhauling the sounds you hear during our talk shows and news breaks, and dedicating all of our interlude music to local artists. So while you take in the news that matters to you — whether during Morning Edition with Matt McCleskey or The Kojo Nnamdi Show — the atmosphere of the day's events will be shaped by sounds from our region. Capital Soundtrack is our way of amplifying our local musicians and tapping into the rich and diverse sounds of this place we call home. Let WAMU connect you with the sounds of Washington.
