Love the idea! I was in my Uni's radio station and it was such a blast. I made some great friends, had some great times, and learned a ton. Our "chief engineers" were fantastic engineers. The amount I learned from them is incredible.

Radio is interesting because there is a required structure (mandated by the FCC) that is fairly strict, but leaves plenty of room for creativity and freedom. Great way to learn how to work within constraints and get the most out of something.

If any college students are reading this, consider joining your school's radio station. It was a great way to meet people and learn.

Totally! I made this because I used to spend a ton of time at my college radio station, and whenever I would visit other colleges, I made sure to check out their student radio if they had one. The programming is always so unique and offbeat, probably because it's mostly just students DJing for fun.

It's been a blast building this—I've been able to spend a ton of time listening to college radio, and also sharpen my front end skills. Looking for jobs/contracts now if anyone is hiring :)
