Bringing something different to the table
every day.
People like, connecting with one another.
There's just this absolute freedom to it.
UIC Radio, it's a club on campus, of course.
A lot of, most of the staff is unpaid, but
it's something that we love.
I love being able to listen to an album all
the way through, but there's also that little
jolt of excitement you get when a song is
played and you haven't heard it in a while,
and you just get that sheer joy on your face.
UIC Radio was starting up and they wanted
DJs, so I thought, "I could do that." And
I got the job and been here Mondays 12-4pm
ever since.
It's a mix of everything. I mean there's rock
shows on here, there's talk shows on here. I do hip-hop live
mixing, and I have a couple of my guys right
here behind me that I'm interviewing, so.
Unique things that I bring to my show
are, closing down the language barrier. I
really you know, I try and do my best with
talking about the artists, talking about the
music, and just translating it for those who
don't speak Spanish. Because for me, when
it comes to radio, I do play music that is
relevant to everybody.
When you listen to UIC Radio you can really
hear the things that students have to say.
It's not censored, the students really are
able to delve into some issues that they really
care about. We really support student driven
content.
I think diversity is reflected at the station
in so many different ways. From music genres
to like the structure of the show, to what
they talk about, to who they like to interview.
Everything is so different. It's so unique
to each individual DJ and blogger so it's
like if everybody kind of has their own flavor,
and all in one pot, that's UIC Radio.
If you're looking for a perspective that's
really fresh, students that are in the moment,
this is a place where you can come.
I think that everybody should listen to UIC
Radio, because, like I said, we're all doing
our thing, everybody's different, and it touches
every person.
