Three of My Favorite Artists: Elliot Smith, Soccer Mommy, HOMESHAKE
Hi folks! My name is Emma, and I’m super siked to be one of WRVU’s music directors this school year! I first entered the WRVU station as an incoming freshman through media immersion, but in classic freshie style, I ended up being too scared to formally join until the very end of my first year (if you are a music-lovin freshman reading this, don’t be a scaredy dummy like me and join WRVU asap, cuz the community is wonderful and the vibes are immaculate). So this is technically my second year with WRVU and first year on exec, and I’m super excited to have the opportunity to play a role in WRVU’s music programming; i.e. helping choose the tunes on different rotations that DJ’s get to play and listeners get to hear! If you have any questions about what you’re hearing on the airwaves, feel like talking tunes in general, wanna spill beer all over ourselves and jump/mosh six feet apart to pretend live music is still a thing (*cries*), or just wanna act like a goof with someone, I’m your kid!

Hi, I’m Quentin! I’ll be the Archive Director here at WRVU this year. I’ve been involved in radio the whole time I’ve been in college (although this is only my second year at WRVU, yay transfers!) and have loved every moment of it! My show is denneverdies and I play a variety of music, but usually focus on more “metal” styles of hip-hop. I’m fond of Hawaiian shirts. If you want to talk about literally anything related to media and entertainment, feel free to email me, or just stop me in person if you recognize me!
