Radio Radio: An Interview with Sandra Mohr: Director of Radio Wars

Listen to the Podcast here

Radio Radio. it's not just a song by Elvis Costello.

Some would say it's a lifestyle here at KZSC, but for director of the new film Radio Wars, Sandra Mohr, radio would have many possible definitions.

Sandra and I sat down on a phone interview to discuss the new documentary which tells about the history of radio and the use of it as a medium in the past.

Our discussion lead to include the importance of radio in todays life, the rise of the virtual DJ and indeed how the name of the DJ has changed over time.

Revisiting Siobhan Fallon: You Know When the Men are Gone

Listen to the podcast of the show here.

Last quarter, I studied abroad in Denmark, pursuing my degree in English Literature and furthering my Egyptological studies (I soon grew so tired of explaining why an English Lit major would study in Denmark, a few people came to know me as an International Studies Major. I may or may not have had a part in them thinking this). While I was away, I put this show on hold as well as my affiliation with the radio station KZSC 88.1.

But I'm back. Back on the show and back on board as Talk Programming Director at the station and couldn't be happier about it.

Coming back from my travels (which can be read on my other blog entitled "A Broad Abroad" linked here) I thought I would look back to the past show and pick one interview to re-edit.

Early last year I had the pleasure of sitting down the author Siobhan Fallon to talk about her then recently released book, You Know When The Men Are Gone

We recorded the interview earlier in the day it was aired a few hours later so most of the audio listeners heard was unedited. For this show, I pieced it together to a more cohesive piece.

Since it's release the book, about the lives of the spouses of deployed soldiers, has gotten rave reviews across the map including recognition from the New York Times, SF Gate and the LA times.
