I dropped by KSKQ studios in Ashland tonight to hang out with Brandon and Nick, hosts of the music/talk program, Fungle Junk. Â I’ve been on the radio a couple times before, but I’ve never been interviewed live. Â I’m usually the one asking the questions and taking notes; sitting on the other side of the microphone was an interesting change of pace.
Â
We talked about my band, The Friend Ship Pagota, and Brandon played a few tracks off our two albums. Â We also discussed the booming LocalsMusic Guide and some of my experiences with local musicians.
KSKQ broadcasts on 94.9 FM in Ashland, and no thanks to a tiny 50-watt transmitter, Brandon told me, “You can hear us in the parking lot, and that’s about it.” Â He also told me a brand new transmitter is arriving tomorrow, which should effectively double their broadcasting power, so keep your ears open for some awesome community radio. Â KSKQ plays as much local music as they can get their hands on, as well as popular programs such as Democracy Now! Â You can also listen in online at KSKQ.org.
Â
Peace.
