It seems like a lifetime ago now, but back when I was at Northern Michigan University I had my own radio show called, "The Philly Philmore Show." From 10-Midnight for two and a half years I played my own brand of rock on WUPX FM.
NMU's radio station was different than all others in the state because DJs were allowed to play whatever they wanted (with me it ended up being a lot of White Stripes, Flaming Lips, and Elliott Smith). Another great thing was that we had an extremely strong antenna (second of all college radios in Michigan, except for MSU).
This semester, my last at NYU, I decided to take a radio journalism class. It's not the kind of radio I'm used to, and it is way harder to do, but it sure is a lot of fun.
My radio piece is on a website I set up for class: The Comic Book Times.
“I hear her voice, in the mornin' hour she calls, The radio reminds me of my home far away, And driving down the road I get a feelin' That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday” - John Denver
