Rana Glick

Rana Glick (a.k.a. Rain In The Evening) is a Philly girl, who found herself in State College, and has been a WPSU Jazz host for almost ten years. Her love of jazz came from her father who enthusiastically spoke with her in the language of jazz, football, and horses. In addition to volunteering at WPSU, Rana also volunteers at Centre Volunteers In Medicine and at Wildlife In Need as a transporter for injured wildlife. She continues her private therapy practice part-time and sets aside prime-time for pickleball and tennis most days. Ending each show with a different rendition of "Over The Rainbow" has become her signature farewell song for each jazz show.
