February 2025
Our February DJ of the Month is Ava Fink, class of ’26! Her show is “ava_isms,” playing Wednesdays at 2pm.
How many years have you been a DJ for WOO91? This is my first year being a DJ for WOO91, but last year I was a reoccurring guest for my friend Miriam’s show. I still use elements of her show in mine.
What is your favorite part of being a DJ? My favorite part about being a DJ is that it is an hour a week that I get to do something for myself. I also just love music so much and want to expose other people to different types of music they would never listen to normally.
Why did you name your show ava_isms? When I was little, I had a friend whose brother said that one day he hopes to be as smart as me because I have so many isms. So for all of my social media accounts are named ava_isms.
What is your favorite show theme that you have done so far/are planning for this year? My favorite show theme that I’ve done this year was based of the vibes of Copenhagen, Denmark in the summer.
Who is your favorite artist at the moment? My favorite artist right now is a tie between Doechii and Tyler, the Creator.
Any song/album recommendations? I would say that I recommend Falling Behind by Laufey or My Love Mine All Mine by Mitski.
November 2024
Our November DJ of the Month is William Musial, class of ’28! His show is “A Walk in the Woods,” playing Tuesdays at 6pm.
How many years have you been a DJ for WOO91? This is my first year as a DJ for WOO 91, but I plan on continuing to share my music and stories as long as I can!
What is your favorite part of being a DJ? Being able to share my interests across the air is an awesome opportunity. I love the idea that anyone anywhere in the country could tune in to our little station to hear my music and trivia!
Why did you name your show “A Walk in the Woods”? I drew the name from a movie of the same title, starring Robert Redford! I watched it this summer and when planning my show, I thought that the themes of the movie (and the book it is based on) ran parallel to the mood I wanted for my program.
What is your favorite show theme that you have done so far this year/are planning for this year? I recently did a program highlighting some spooky stories from National Parks, in honor of Halloween. I really enjoyed the more informal aspect of that show, it felt like I was just telling stories with my friends as we listened to some good music!
Who is your favorite artist at the moment? Lord Huron still takes the top spot for me, they were the first concert I ever attended and I’m still a huge fan! They’ve recently started teasing a new album and I’m super excited for that!
Any song/album recommendations? I would have to recommend the “I and Love and You” album by the Avett Brothers; I heard their music a lot growing up and I think it definitely influenced the music I listen to today!
What’s your favorite national park? My favorite park I’ve been to has to be Glacier National Park in Montana. The landscapes are absolutely beautiful and there are some tremendous hikes and activities to do as well!
Anything else you want to say? Just get outside! The natural world has so much to offer, for people of all ages and all levels of experience. Go on a hike, go camping, just take a walk through your local park! It is so important to respect and preserve the natural spaces that we have left in this world. In the words of the great Teddy Roosevelt- “For the Benefit and Enjoyment of the People.”
