Scratching an old itch

Well folks, many of you know that I lived and breathed college radio for a solid 4 years at WRCT Pittsburgh (CMU). This week I'm starting back on the road to musical enlightenment, by showing up to the new DJ infosession at KZSU Stanford. This comes after an almost three year hiatus, partially self-imposed, partially imposed by the TWO YEAR waitlist at WMBR Cambridge (MIT).

Now that my full-time job no longer directly causes me to dabble in music, I'm definitely missing a large outlet of my love for music -- especially new music. It is time to scratch this old itch, in the best way I know how.

The thing I miss the most about college radio is helping others learn about radio. Now that I'm no longer a student, I still want to practice what I preached as General Manager at WRCT - college radio is a tremendous learning opportunity--especially for students. It's a huge social and interpersonal challenge to work and play in a college radio station. What I'm getting at is that, as a community member, and not a student, I'll want to play a more hands-off, mentoring role at a future station. Hopefully that station will be KZSU. Wish me luck...
