I’ve been spending a lot of time reflecting on my radio station tours as I prepare for my 100th tour report this week. During that process, I asked my daughter if she could list off for me some of the interesting and/or weird things that she’s seen when accompanying me on radio station tours. She’s […]
For quite a few years I’ve been intrigued by and obsessed with the handmade 3-dimensional radio station call letter signs that I’ve seen at numerous college and community radio stations all over the United States. One of the signs is posted at KFJC, where I volunteer and DJ, so I see it every week. I […]
I was lucky to be able to visit quite a few college radio stations in 2014 and have shared some of those field trips on Radio Survivor and Spinning Indie. Next week I’ll write up a comprehensive “2014 year in review” post about the state of college radio, but as I reflect back on the […]
I’ve written up 68 radio station tours since 2008 and have probably visited close to 100 stations total. Nearly 50 of those visits were to college radio stations all over the country (plus a few in Ireland). My goal has always been to spread the gospel of college radio to not only the masses, but […]
As part of my new Radio Station Scavenger Hunt series, I’m highlighting music genre charts this week.

As I complete this week’s radio station scavenger hunt, my final station stop is to Stanford University’s station KZSU. When I visited in 2009, I didn’t see much graffiti. In fact, the station had a strong anti-graffiti policy as noted on the sign pictured above. At the time, graffiti seemed to be confined to this […]
This week I started a new Radio Station Scavenger Hunt series. As I’ve searched through the hundreds of photos that I’ve taken at nearly 50 radio station visits, it’s become clear that there are certain items that are frequently found at a range of different stations. In the past I’ve written about the 5 things […]
In this new Radio Station Scavenger Hunt series, I will uncover some of my favorite items that have been spotted at radio stations all over the country. This week I’ve been posting photos of graffiti found at various radio stations. On Monday, the graffiti was from Lewis and Clark college radio station KLC in Portland. […]
In this new Radio Station Scavenger Hunt series, I will uncover some of my favorite items that have been spotted at radio stations all over the country. Yesterday I shared a picture of graffiti from the Lewis and Clark college radio station KLC in Portland. Today’s picture is from KSFS at San Francisco State University. […]
At this point I’ve visited more than 50 radio stations all over the country. It’s getting to the point where I now look for certain items during my visits because I expect to see particular things over and over again. I’ve already written about the 5 things that one is likely to spot at a […]
