Wow does that saying ever ring true. After spending seven years hosting college radio at a school back in Indiana I am proud to say that my college freshman daughter Jourdan has taken a page from her dad's book...and written her own by hosting a morning radio show at Marquette University.
Marquette Radio is one of those "cool" college stations where students who volunteer and meet minimum requirements can actually get a chance to be on the air. Not all college stations have such an open approach. But my fearless daughter signed up during the first week of classes and accepted the challenge of hosting a show on Thursdays. Mind you, its not the best slot for a college station unless you think everyone is up at 8 am, but in the radio biz its really "morning drive" and that is a hell of a time to be airborne. She plays an eclectic mix of indie/alternative rock along with some of the "have to" songs required by the station format to meet certain college radio station requirements.
For MU students its easy to tune in on cable at Ch. 96 but the rest of us can hear via the internet. Follow the link on my page for Marquette Radio and when that page loads click on "listen." Its simple and easy but sometimes the "listen" page takes a few minutes to load. For two hours you will hear some really good songs and you'll get an earful of information on bands you may never have hear of like Death Cab for Cutie, the Shins, Wilco, and Chad Vangaalen.
