Aasha Lewis Redway came to Hofstra as a graduate student in the late 2010s and, on a whim, decided to check out the radio station.  Aasha instantly became part of the station and a producer on the Hip-Hop Basement.  It's a really interesting journey.  Thank you for listening.

There is a long history of couples getting together at Hofstra Radio and that continues with Nick Faria and Brittany McGowan-Faria who were at the station in the late 2010s.  Nick and Brittany had different reasons for joining the station but became close friends and then a couple.  This is a fun and loving conversation.  Please take the time to check out to the whole thing.  Thank you for listening.

Evan Wilner was a sports and news guy at Hofstra Radio in the mid 2000s.  Evan came to Hofstra specifically to be part of the sports department. Evan had a personal connection to the Ingles family and Kevin and Ed instantly made him part of the community.  Evan has a lot of great stories.  Thank you for listening.

Edward Mabeza began his time at Hofstra Radio in the late 2010s and was involved in many different departments.  Starting with music shows like Off The Charts, then the Morning Wake Up Call, sports and the Hip-Hop Basement were just some of the many things Edward did during his time at the station. It's a fun conversation. Thank you for listening.

Jen Murphy Packer is your host, as she interviews me about my upperclassman years at Hofstra Radio in the 1990s.  Jen and I cover a LOT of material about my days as Airwave Producer, Program Director and Station Manager.  I had a lot of fun (and left out so many stories).  Thank you for listening.

I spoke with Tommy Smart and Christian Ladigoski about their program, The Screening Room, just after the 11th anniversary of the show's premiere (it's still on the air).  Christian and Tommy spoke about how they took their different ideas and created a show and how it grew and eventually became a staple of WRHU programming.  Lots of great stories in this one.  Thank you for listening.
