I co-host a weekly radio show called "International Feel", where we look back at a world full of obscure funk, soul, and disco music. In the past, I used to be a chair of the Programming Committee where I would help select new shows for time slots and offer production or content advice to our current roster of shows. Before that, I'd produced a few radio shows (Goldsoundz, 3D Radio, Crude Radio), created ads and station IDs, as well as curated music for automated broadcasts.
