Todd: Alex, can you talk a little about working at a radio station?
 
Alex: Yeah, sure. The Radio station at my school is called WMKP. I'm actually a DJ. Well, not the turn table DJ per se, but a DJ that just plays music and talks on the air a lot, so I do that a lot and that's really fun because I can have guests over and I can play, I like all kinds of music, and where I am only people listen to certain types, so I like to sort of open their ears to many different kinds of music from, I don't know, electronic, to classical, to jazz, to whatever I feel like playing. And it's really a bunch of fun. You make a whole lot of friends and you meet bands too because we have, we hold concerts sometimes so, you know, maybe I'm working at the radio station. I'm part of the staff at the concerts and I meet a lot of bands. It's really a very, very, very, very, very fun.
