June MD of the Month | Bennett Rosner, WRSU Rutgers Radio
“I’m super hyped for the new The 1975 album, The Avalanche’s third record, and whatever the hell is going on with Gorillaz’ new project. Every single released from these 3 have been awesome so far. I’m also cautiously optimistic for the new Weezer record, as all fans of the band should be.”
Industry Interview with Dan Manning, Terrorbird Media
“There’s been so many fun moments throughout my time at Terrorbird and SO many great records that we’ve worked from artists I’ve loved for a really long time. Personally it’s been a dream getting to work with labels like Dais, Sacred Bones, and other purveyors of weird, experimental music.”
May Genre DJ of the Month |Wanda Fischer, WAMC 90.3 Albany, NY
“My show at WAMC, “The Hudson River Sampler,” is on Saturday nights from 8-10 pm. It started by following “A Prairie Home Companion,” which was a great opening act (I told Garrison Keillor that once, and he laughed).”
May MD of the Month | Mikey Rose, KAOS 89.3FM Olympia
“My first ever show was Warped Tour ‘11 when I was… 12, I think. After that, my love of shows couldn’t be stopped, and I go to as many as I can (at least, when there isn’t a pandemic).”
April MD of the Month | Hayley Muir, CJSW 90.9 Calgary
“I’ve been cooking and baking quite a bit. Listening to the radio because there’s always a friend there … I do turn off the news and put my phone down for a dinner time dance party every day. I’d suggest throwing on Tavares – Heaven Must Be Missing An Angel and just going for it”
Genre DJ of the Month | Adrian Lugo, WEFT, Champaign, IL
“My show is the Sync Soundsystem. I play mostly electronic jams from all around the world with an emphasis on underground sounds, new emerging scenes and low-end frequencies. All genres, eras, bpms, moods and grooves.”
Industry Interview with Ryan Carey, Jeff McClusky & Associates
“One of my favorites would have to be the couple months before my wedding, working with The Whigs during an album release cycle. My wife jokes that I spent more time with them on the road than I did with her leading up to our wedding…which is too close to call.”
March MD of the Month | Micole Johnson, WCSF 88.7 FM Joliet, IL
“The time I used to skip lunch to go to the band room has shaped me the most as a person. That’s where I self-taught myself piano, and talk about life with my band teacher. For me, that was my safe haven spot in the school.”
Genre DJ of the Month | Ken “Dr. K” Nagelberg, WHYR, Baton Rouge, LA
“I’ve been doing a folk show on and off since 1971 when I was a college student. Folk music was a big part of college culture then (anti-war protests, etc.)”
