John Rittmeyer
WOSU 89.7 FM
Weekdays 1pm-4pm

John grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, and moved to Columbus to attend OSU where he double majored in English and Photography.

Learning to play the guitar in high school, John grew to love all kinds of music, rock ‘n roll first, and then classical music later. As a student, Rittmeyer would often turn on music while he was studying, and he found himself gravitating towards the music of particular eras he was studying. When he began to examine the nineteenth-century Romantic poets, for example, he would play Wagner and other musicians of the Romantic age. “Music has enhanced my experience of literature. The more you listen and the more you read, you begin to recognize the zeitgeist of the era—in different forms and media—and that’s fascinating. I've been getting paid to listen to classical music since 1987, and the experience of music has opened a whole new world of artistic expression to me.”
