My guest today is Asheville, NC based DJ, Bruce Swan. Bruce went to college after of high school and earned his degree just a few short years later. Or at least that's what he thought. Nearly 25 years later, he was informed that he didn't quite finish and would need to go back to fulfill his final requirements. Upon his return to Hunter College in New York, NY, he discovered the college radio station, WHCS. He filled out an application and went in for an interview, and at the age of 50, began his career as a radio DJ.
Since his time on air at Hunter College, he's been at several different stations including: 10 years at 89.5 WPKN independent radio in Bridgeport, CT, 7 years at 93.3 WRFR community radio in Rockland, ME, and now he's on air at 103.3 Asheville FM in Asheville, NC.
At the start of the pandemic, Bruce started a live remote show called, Music My Mother Would Not Like. The program should not be confused with the show he hosted on WPKN (Bridgeport, CT) bearing the same name. The pandemic version of Music My Mother Would Not Like features 3-4 artists playing in succession on Tuesday nights. Originally, the show was only supposed to be five weeks, but nearly two years later, it's still going strong and is popular among the singer-songwriter community.
