Radio Projects
I've been experimenting with radio since the 80’s! My little brother and I would host J & J Radio from the family room of our parent's home, in suburban Minneapolis. Thanks to Dad’s portable tape recorder...
​
By the 1990s, I was working and volunteering in college radio and produced a program which I syndicated, from 2001-2o11 (Some Assembly Required).
​
Lately, the focus has been on a NEW series, attempting to reconstruct broadcast recordings of what some mythical disc jockeys might have shared with their imaginary audience, over the air.
​​
Radio Retrofit features music which originally aired, along with sound bytes from the programs which aired it. The shows are "hosted" by legendary, fictional DJs, by virtue of my having edited them fancifully into place.
As an editor, it's been huge fun to work on this series! Explore, below...​

The "Johnny Fever" mix
was so much fun to make,
I've been brainstorming ways to keep the series going.
Here's the idea...
​
I'll be producing brand new programs, from a variety
of incomplete "found
sound" broadcast recordings,
to create entertaining approximations of what
might have aired.

The Interviews
For 12 years, I produced
and distributed a program
of Sound Collage, featuring sample based music and audio art.
​​​
And every so often, I'd record an original interview, and
turn it into a feature on
the artist and their work.
​​
These 35 interviews are how the show is often remembered, and I'm proud to present them here.
SOME ASSEMBLY REQUIRED
Favorite Episodes
The show continues to air on college & community radio.
Stay tuned for Brand New episodes, at wfmu.org, on the Sheena's Jungle Room stream.
With over 300 hours available, it's hard to say where to start. Whether it's an especially interesting clash of styles, or a theme that's practically "mixed itself," this is a list of episodes I thought turned out particularly well.
