My favorite college radio station, KZSC-FM in Santa Cruz, published a zine last year with many wonderful essays and photographs. Among my favorite graphics is a flow chart titled “How College Radio Are You?” full of questions that guide you along, depending on your level of college radio wisdom.
So, if you know Prince’s favorite color, your next question is “What band Father John Misty was in before going solo?” If you know that too, the next query is “What [does] ‘CMJ‘ stand for?”
I’d be interested in knowing if Radio Survivor readers think that these questions divine the true “college radio-ness” of the queried.
Speaking personally, I did not get far with the test. But that’s ok, I’m happy just to listen to KZSC-FM. Hat tip to Aidan Herrick for bringing the zine to my attention.
