Josh Wolff, '03, on Alumni-Student Relations


Listen Later

Chances are, you won't find an alumnus from our group who interfaces with current students the way Josh Wolff ('03) does.  Sitting on both the the Alumni Association Board and the WJPZ Board of Directors, this former station Program Director is always there to answer a student question.

We open today's show by asking Josh about his journey to Syracuse and Z89.   Jag talks about how Josh was instrumental in helping him  land both his first full time radio job, as well as his Major Market gig in Detroit.

We could have asked Josh about his long career in radio, with positions in Binghamton, Greenville, Atlanta, Pittsburgh, Phoenix, Allentown, and more.   But he's much more comfortable talking about others - students like Mina Llona, Sam Kandell, Corey Crockett, Alex Silverman, Steven Krainin, Jacob Belotti, and more, all the way to the station's current leadership.

Some of you may not be familiar with the on-site work that some of the alumni do in the summer in Syracuse (and often year-round for that matter).  Josh talks about being in town when it's not snowing - with folks like Stephen Kurtz, Alex Silverman, Rob Crandall, Matt DelSignore, and more - helping the station leadership with everything from G-Selector clocks to upgrading our "100 watt flamethrower" to 1,000.

Jag and Josh wrap up with a funny story of innocence lost in Greenville. We also find out what's in the fridge of a guy who's never cooked.
