 My connection
to SATW began in the early 1990s when I was a regular listener to
the show. A couple of years back, a college friend (who knew I always
secretly wanted to become a DJ) heard that SATW was looking to expand
the collective of hosts, and much to my amazement, I got trained and
joined the show in 2003. Since I was a kid, I've loved radio - music,
talk, news, features, sports - college, commercial, community, you
name it. Getting to be a host for this show was a spectacular stroke
of good fortune. I love the "freeform" format of WMFO, and
focusing on music by women artists is close to my heart and my politics.
When I host the show, I do a feature called a "Six Pack,"
in which I play six songs either by one artist or connected to one
theme... and listener suggestions are always welcome!
