Meet the Hosts

Music Host
Laid-back, analog-rich voice of an indie music sage. Cool, clever, and casually brilliant with deep music chops and sly charm. Warm, effortlessly cool voice of a late-night college radio DJ. Relaxed confidence, sly knowing tone. Charming musicologist and indie scene gatekeeper. Smooth but unpredictable cadence. Oozes musicality, layered with subtle sarcasm and affection for the craft. Textured richness, analog vibe, undercurrent of wit.

Music Host
Witty, cultured voice with lyrical cadence. Indie-sophisticate with sharp takes, poetic flair, and a vibe that draws you in. Magnetic, articulate, cool sharpness of a record store clerk. Refined and irreverent. Effortlessly toggling between poetic insights and biting hot takes with a sly smile. Lyrical cadence, deliberate pacing, hint of playfulness. Hybrid of downtown music critic and chill podcast host. Approachable snobbery with infectious passion.
