Each week on the blog, we'll be showcasing a different KWVA DJ. They'll tell you about their musical tastes, their history, and what their set is all about. In addition, we've included a playlist at the bottom of the page so you can catch a glimpse of what they spin.
This week's DJ: Bryan Kalbrosky - The Everything Bagel - Fridays at 2 pm - 3pm.
Greetings. My name is Bryan Kalbrosky, and I'm an office assistant and radio DJ at KWVA. I've hosted "The Everything Bagel" for three years now, and my goal is to provide listeners with a collection of alternative music that they otherwise may not have heard. As suggested by the name of my show, it's important for me to not get trapped in one genre: in the same week, I'll have an old track by The Talking Heads mixed with an even older one by Bruce Springsteen.
I also love to play new releases as often as I can, and never play the same song twice. Some of my favorites include lo-fi Canadian slacker rocker Mac DeMarco, Chicago-born hip hop guru Chance The Rapper or electronica, chill wave musician (and my high school classmate) Will Wiesenfeld from Baths.
My show typically features a little too much of my own talking, but that's okay. I also post to my Facebook page ("The Everything Bagel") before and after every show with my playlist. KWVA is super important to me, and some of the time that I've spent in the studio, with other DJ's and alone, are some of my most cherished in college.
Best,
Bryan Kalbrosky
