History

State: IL
Bio: I was born in Philly, grew up in Cleveland, lived in Pittsburgh, and now live in Chicago--mostly in the Midwest/Rust Belt. I've done many different things, but nothing very exciting (until I host a public radio show). I have a Ph.D. in English and right now am teaching at a small-ish private high school in a western suburb of Chicago. I live in the South Loop and love being in the heart of Chicago and close to Lake Michigan. As soon as school is out, I'll be riding my bike there every day. Anything else you want to know?
What's your favorite public radio show?: Fresh Air!
What's your secret talent?: I can play my nose to make it sound like like a Hawaiian steel guitar.
What song is stuck in your head right now, you know, a music wedgie?: There is usually one there, but right now, nothing, thank the good lord!
What sound is most characteristic of where you live?: Traffic
What's your favorite sound memory?: Cicadas
Which station do you listen to most?: WBEZ
