I think I discovered independent radio growing up in Atlanta listening to the college radio station from Georgia State, 88.5 I think. Then when I went to school in Mobile, Alabama I was shocked to find out there was a very tiny college radio station, all of 10 watts. (Shout out to WTOH!) It was such a small-wattage station they didn’t care whether or not we followed FCC rules. That’s something I had to learn when I became a DJ at WXNA. Hey, you’re not a real DJ unless you’ve been suspended at least once! I love being the selector on Eighties Schmeighties. It beats therapy!
Most played song: “Clampdown” by The Clash
Vinyl, CD or mp3? All of the above. Whatever works. Love vinyl, but not a fetishist.
Fave WXNA shows: Free Association, Works Progress Radio Hour, Reggae University, and Punk Not Punks
Pinch-me moment: Interviewing some great artists such as Kosmo Vinyl and Vanessa Briscoe Hay.
When I die: Enjoy Every Sandwich…
