Callie Lambert: How did you get started at WUVT and how long have you been involved?
Bryan Hunt: I started AM training in 2011, freshman year, when I came across WUVT at gobbler fest. Music has always been a major part of my life. I have been in band starting in 4th grade throughout high school and I knew I couldn't do college band because of the time commitment. So I was looking for things to indulge my passion for music, and I found it. I checked out their orgy. and it seemed like a lot of fun.
CL: What was your first show like?
BH: My first AM show was sunday from 4-7am, was it hard? Well it required me to catch the last bus to campus which only ran at midnight, then had to wait for for 4 hours until my show, and after my show i fell asleep on the couch since buses wouldn't run until noon. And I never missed a single one. My second show was 9-11am on Sunday, so I had to stay overnight at a friend's dorm because I had to get to the station at 7am to plan my show and get my music.
CL: What's your favorite part of WUVT?
BH: Probably the freedom to play whatever I want really. I know I make jokes about how we have to expand or how it's sometimes restricting but in reality compared to other stations' I like the freedom. We get a lot of feedback and that allows me to explore my music tastes further.
CL: Whats your most played artist?
BH: That's tough! I know the website will say Rush, but don't trust that because I did an artist showcase. My most played? Probably Elvis Presely, Joe Cocker, Wayne Cochran, and Journey.
CL: I was going to guess you would say Journey! Do you know about the Woove?
BH: I do know of it but sadly I don't know much about it. I've never read much of it. (Laughs) They're going to hate me for that.
CL: Since our vinyl collection is absurd, what is an album that no one else knows that we have in the station?
BH: Oh! Stoney and Meatloaf. Meat Loaf is known for the Bat Out of Hell album. Songs like Paradise by Dashboard Light. Before all of that he was with a group that was signed to a label in Motown and I've played that a few times on my show.
CL: You're always here hours before my show and you haven't missed a show yet. Is there any weather you wouldn't DJ in?
BH: (Laughs) Probably 5 feet of snow? I was here when we were supposed to have that hurricane too. I've never missed a show due to weather.
CL: Is there anything else you want to say about WUVT?
BH: I've discovered so many artists since being apart of WUVT. It's allowed me to indulge my interest in music and I'm always learning about new bands.
Thanks Bryan!!!! Tune into his show, an eclectic mix of rock, soul, and R&B on Saturdays, 5:30-7pm!
