How does the overnight shift differ from the daytime shift?

"Well, the atmosphere is a little scarier. There is absolutely no one else around. The night makes people looser. I definitely get more interesting responses overnight."

What is the scariest thing to happen to you?

"Once around 4 a.m., a listener called in to complain. He got angry and hung up. I told him over the air that we were able to trace his number. He then called me back and told me 'I'll see you after the show.' The guy never showed up, but I was a little worried during the remainder of my shift.

What do you view as your main role?

"Keep the listeners entertained and give them a reason to stay up!"

What are some of your favorite musicians and bands?

"AC/DC, Nine Inch Nails, Creed, Metallica, Kid Rock, Stone Temple Pilots, Drowning Pool and Disturbed."

What is something that people would be surprised to know about overnight DJs?

"That after working until 6 am, we still need to get to class early in the morning and last all day just like everyone else. But at least there is no shortage of parking at 2 am."
