Who I Am

I host the Ninja Brunch on Sunday mornings from 9a-noon CT. I'm also a production director, which means I help with podcasts and on-air branding.

Trademarks: I play Weird Al Yankovic on my show a lot. And I make some of those funny car donation promos.

Why I Volunteer

Radio and music are two of my greatest passions. CHIRP Radio gathers together a whole group of folks like me, who volunteer their time to find and curate the best music - new, old, and undiscovered; local to international - to share with you! We do it because we love it and want to introduce YOU to diverse voices you won't find anywhere else on the dial. Or the internet. Or the smpartspeaker. We're everywhere.

Why I Listen

When I'm not DJing, or producing a podcast, or recording on-air creative elements - I'm likely still listening to CHIRP Radio. Because every DJ's show is different, I learn something new from every show. We're consistently eclectic. I guarantee if you listen to 107.1 FM for two hours, you WILL hear a song you've never heard before.

Why You Should Give

Here at CHIRP, we’re all about connection: whether it’s introducing you to a local band you now love, giving you the chance to win tickets to see an artist play live at one of the city’s amazing venues, or getting you in touch with a local nonprofit or independent business providing a valuable service – we’re not just about great music – we’re all about the human side of radio! We take the "community" in community radio to heart.

MAKE A FIFTEENTH ANNIVERSARY DONATION TO CHIRP!

It's hard to believe that it's been a decade and a half since we launched the station! Some things have changed a lot, but what's stayed the same is our commitment to bringing you live, local, commercial-free music programming lovingly curated by our DJs every single day, plus dozens of events that showcase our city's diverse music, arts and cultural scenes.

This year we're celebrating our history while looking to the future, including rebuilding our website and mobile app into a sleek integrated web app that we know you'll love.

We are a truly independent, listener-supported station. Your generosity has helped us thrive over the past fifteen years, and will keep us going for decades to come.
