WZRD-Chicago 88.3 FM is a student-run radio station at Northeastern Illinois University and it can generally be heard throughout the north side of Chicago and on the internet.

Started in 1974, WZRD, is one of the first and only freeform radio stations out there. Unlike other formats, even the Jack format, there is no restriction on what's playable on air (save FCC regulations). It would not be unheard of to hear Tibetan Buddhist chants, early 80's punk rock, eclectic mixes, a spoken word piece and public service announcements in succession. They also have one of the longest running live band shows on Thursday nights.

Unlike most radio stations, the individual DJs are not identified by name, solely as Wizards. WZRD accepts no outside funding. Its operating budget is provided in full by Northeastern Illinois University. The station is also an affiliate of the Pacifica radio network. It broadcasts Democracy Now! and Free Speech Radio News.
