Audio Interviews
I spent much of my junior year at Hofstra hosting and producing interviews for WRHU 88.7FM’s block format talk show, “Music Bizz Buzz.” Speaking to different music and entertainment industry professionals about their career paths taught me invaluable lessons and gave me a glimpse into areas of these industries I wasn’t able to fully explore in college coursework. All interviews displayed below aired on WRHU 88.7FM and all editing was done independently in Adobe Audition.
