Augie West

DJ / EDU Media Production

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.

Nathan Taylor (aka. NATA)

DJ – Host “Riding with NATA”

My background is in the visual arts, but I have always had a deep love of music. The youngest of four, I gained an appreciation for music at an early age, from my siblings as well as my parents. In grade school I would stay up late at night surfing the dial on my clock radio until I found a program I liked. I soon learned the schedule for the local community radio station and developed ‘must listen’ times. In my adult life music has been a constant companion. I have been compiling a collection of CDs MP3s and Vinyl and I’m happy to have an outlet to share it with you.

James “Old Man” Winther

DJ Host – “Return From Chaos” 

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.
