Corvallis resident Dan Crall is a broadcast veteran, with nearly 15 years experience in public and community radio. He earned his bachelor’s degree in Telecommunications – Audio Production from Ball State University. He has a passion for audio production, creating radio programs and podcasts, exploring many genres of music, environmental conservation, and community building.

Jennifer has been involved in music throughout her life; playing instruments, attending concerts, and listening to the radio! She is currently the VP of the Community Airwaves Board of Directors and hosts The Lost KORC, Saturday Lost and Found KORC (seasonally), and Album Rant!

JP is a machine whisperer who emerged from the techno undercity of Portland. JP is a persistently inquisitive, but complex old soul that never seems to finish anything that requires perfection. He always stops short of perfection because he’s deeply satisfied when things are efficient and simple enough for a fourth grader’s attention span.

DJ Angel (also known as Solomon the KORC Kid) is the host of “Angels of KORC” and a regular music contributor to KORC. He likes all sorts of music including trap, bass, hip hop, and various other genres heard on KORC. He is KORC’s youngest volunteer. When he’s in the mood, he likes to make short announcements on the air.

Augie is a retired teacher and in his youth worked for a record distributor and a guitar and drum company. He is a long time music fan and has attended hundreds of concerts. Augie hopes to use that experience to share music with you. Radio has always been his friend- from the top 40 AM stations  of the late 50s and early 60s to the beginnings of freeform FM radio.  This was the place to learn the new songs, groups, and singers of the day and to groove to the favorites he already knew. Augie’s mission is  to turn you on to great music like the freeform FM DJs of the early 70s turned him onto great music.

BB’s radio roots are in college radio. ACEG showcases new and old indie/alternative rock as well as any genre that fits the mood of the week.

Corvallis local DJ James Winther brings death metal and “weird other music” to KORC with, “Return From Chaos.”

Old Man Winther had been a dumb metalhead since trading a bag of Triscuits for a copy of Kill ’em All back in the mid 90s. He is delighted to host “Return from Chaos” on K-Orc 105.9 so as to make you listen to his favorite death and black metal songs with a smattering of jazz, industrial , goth rock, odd classical, nordic folk, along with a side dish of shameless self-spotlighting of his own past/current bands and the sporadic Nintendo song, Beatles remix, or paranormal call-in guest.

I’m a Corvallis musician, greenhouse enthusiast, and record collector. The music played on HHTL is lifted almost exclusively from this collection of records, which includes jazz, free and spiritual jazz, experimental, world, Kosmiche, psychedelic, Italian soundtrack, and otherwise leftfield music. I have a huge passion for recorded sound, and hope to endlessly pursue and expand my knowledge and understanding of it. Sharing and connecting with interested folks like you makes it all the better!! Get in touch with me if you want to chat records, music, a song you heard on the show, anything!

Come with open minds and ears, and see ya out there!

DJ Mermaid Hair was born in the waters of the Pacific Ocean. After many travels between California and Hawaii, she swam all the way to the Oregon coast and followed the rivers to Corvallis, Oregon. She spends her time on land immersed in the wine world and playing reggae music and more on KORC FM.

DJ Moons is a newer member to the KORC-FM 105.9 family and is a recent transplant to Corvallis from the Portland Metro Area. He brings his life-long love of a variety of music to add to his show. From the nascent beginnings of listening to local radio stations playing various sub-genres of rock music, he later became enamored with blues, jazz, R&B, soul, Reggae and funk in his teen and college years. These form the “bread and butter” of his shows, but every other week prepare for explorations of themes (i.e., “Songs About Automobiles”) or a tangential shift into other genres (i.e., classical, folk, bluegrass, gypsy jazz, Latin, electronica, etc.). On occasion you might even have a touch of comedy tossed in, whatever might tickle his fancy – and hopefully yours. “I Sing the Body Eclectic” is supposed to be just that – ECLECTIC!

When not putzing around in his makeshift sound studio, DJ Moons can be found reading a book (Non-Fiction,Sci-Fi, and mysteries), out walking his dog in a local park, playing disc golf with friends, or lurking in local record stores and at the local library seeking new and cool materials ripe to be included in future shows.

Blinx is a forward-minded hourly show and eponymous independent record label focusing on tasty picks from the history of dance music with host, Brandon Richardson aka DJ MOS FET (metal-oxide-semiconductor-field-effects-transistor), a lifelong obsessed-listener and avid collector. Inspired by the ethos of British pirate radio, each show offers a fervent, globetrotting mixture of different regional club styles in a fun variety of tempos and flavour.
