    It’s Hot In Here

    Student DJs at WCBN created It’s Hot in Here in 2008 in order to combine environmental journalism with positive, infectious pop and counter culture energy. Placing the wealth of knowledge at the University of Michigan's School for Environment and Sustainability (formerly known as the School of Natural Resources and Environment) in conversation with Ann Arbor and the world, It’s Hot in Here ushered in a new era in envi­ron­men­tally-themed college talk radio with a focus on soul and R&B. Over one-hundred live shows later, a seed that started off as a joke at a party has grown — and is still growing — into a family of friends, colleagues, experts, and artisans.
