An intro that I put together with Trevor H. to set up hype for our football broadcasts. This is probably the most complicated thing I’ve edited, and it doesn’t really show, which could be a good thing or a bad thing. Creating hype is a difficult process, but I think this came together fairly well, especially when it fades out into WJMU’s commentators. 

The backing track is “Ante Up” by M.O.P.

A Legal ID recorded for a different Radio 101 class, this time by Cody C. and Dominique S. They ran a sports talk show, so the theme of all of their recordings was sports-related.

The backing track is “Space Jam” by the Quad City DJs.

Tess G. and Travis V. recorded this liner in a demonstration for a Radio 101 class taught by WJMU’s general manager and my mentor, Sam M. If I didn’t have another class to attend when Radio 101 was happening, I would come by the recording studio and assist students with their projects.

The track used is “Pump Up the Volume” by M|A|R|R|S.

So, this one requires a little bit of context. I began listening to the radio in 2007. WJMU, Millikin’s radio station, was my favorite station of all time. While listening, I’d get uncomfortable when they’d play a certain liner called “Sexy Request”, done by an uncredited woman. That liner still exists on the station and maintains regular rotation. It’s considered a classic bit of cheese from the hey days of college rock radio, and I decided to pay it tribute by copying it, line for line, with new music... And my voice.

The track used is “Mirage” by Kodak Cameo.

A liner created for Revengeance of the Nerds. Although Logan M. was my cohost at the time, I handled the creation of all of our liners and legal IDs solo.

The track used is Anataniha (Demo Version) by Evis Beats.

A PSA created by Kayleigh F. and Dana C. for class. They recruited me as vocal talent for the first half of the PSA, and production assistance. The “Milliplague”  is a sort of portmanteau of Millikin (University) and Plague. Essentially, it’s asking students to stay healthy by not spreading germs and sickness as school reopens for the Fall semester.

At WJMU, there’s a few programs that run year round, no matter which staff members are available to run the show. One of those is “The Drive”, which airs every weekday from 4-6. Meant to accompany workers on their way home after a busy day, the program is one of WJMU’s most popular programs. As such, it was a show that was easy to secure underwriting deals with companies in town. This particular intro was used to support a local car dealership. As a radio intro, the music is allowed to fade out as the hosts begin discussing whatever topic they had planned for their opening segment.

Clusterstruck was my solo program from Spring 2014 to Fall 2015, before I decided to have Revengeance of the Nerds become my main program. The purpose of the show was to showcase an utterly eclectic playlist of tunes ranging from classical music to EDM, death metal to R&B, hardcore punk to sitcom theme songs. Musical whiplash was accompanied by my commentary at regular intervals, discussing the merits of musical diversity.

The promo for my CO314 program on WJMU, Revengeance of the Nerds. Taylor B. and I cohosted the program and discussed nerd culture, video games, movies, and music.

A promo created for WJMU’s ticket contest to see Pentatonix’s World Tour gig at the State Farm Center in Champaign, IL.  The promo leads directly into the rest of the famous Pentatonix Daft Punk remix. It sounds extremely sharp, but I can’t share the full version due to copyrights. This was a finalist for “Best On-Air Event Promotion” at the 77th Annual Intercollegiate Broadcast System Conference’s Award Ceremony in New York City, New York.
