Episode 004:My College Radio Days

My radio career began in college at Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo Michigan.  I eventually worked my way up the ranks to become the first female General Manager at the student run WIDR-FM.  I was trained by the best, John Dunn.  I was his assistant the year prior to becoming WIDR’s GM.  I dedicate this podcast to John.Being part of WIDR-FM was much like being in a fraternity. There are many of us that have remained friends and associates over the years.  We have held large scale reunions and smaller gatherings as well.Last spring, a handful of my college radio pals got together for pizza and beer at one of our favorite hang-outs.  The micro reunion consisted of Kris Dalton Liebold aka ‘KD’, Jim McKinney aka 'Papa', Tim Murphy, aka ‘Murph’, Ed Sackley, Bob Piellusch, Larry McClish, aka ‘Larry Mac’ and myself Kim Zewatsky Brixton, aka, ‘Beez’.I just so happened to have a recording device, so I took advantage of the opportunity to have everyone in attendance talk about their WIDR experience, and life in general.Thank you in advance for listening. And, I apologize for some 'salty' language that may have slipped through the editing process.
