KKJZ and KCRW - two stations that got me through an education
Posted by troporobo on February 11, 2012 at 00:23:06:
KKJZ is broadcast from my undergraduate alma mater - Cal State Long Beach. My girlfriend's mother (now my mother in law) was for a while the excecutive assistant to the producer. I used to listen for hours while doing engineering calculations, and it saved my sanity more than once
Years later, Tom Schnable was a constant companion via KCRW's Morning Becomes Eclectic, while I was in graduate school at USC. I often found myself listening for hours while neglecting studies or teaching prep, and then staying up half the night to make up for it. But again, quality radio was a virtual refuge
Even though I have not lived in the US for over 20 years, I still listen to both regularly thanks to the miracle of inernet radio.
