On Fridays at 4 p.m., Amelia shares a mix of music, usually under the alternative rock umbrella, and commentary about music-related facts or life updates. Playing artists like Alvvays, Feeble Little Horse, Slow Pulp, and Title Fight. Amelia also loves to play tracks from smaller artists, “because they deserve the recognition.” The GVSU sophomore enjoys preparing for her show by making playlists and burning CDs, trying her best to not repeat songs from past shows but once in a while, there will be songs that deserve to be played again.

 

Other than being a part of Whale Radio, Amelia loves the GVSU campus, often walking in the arboretum, studying in the library, and spending time with her friends in the dorms. She is thankful for the connections made at her time so far at Grand Valley, and the amazing professors motivating her to do her best. By far though, her favorite place on campus has to be the radio station.

 

Amelia encourages everyone to join Whale Radio “Whether your show is about music, sports, or even a podcast with friends, it’s a club where you can express yourself. It seems intimidating to talk on air but trust me, it becomes less scary the more you do your shows. It’s fun to have an hour to show off your personality and interests for other people to hear. So give it a try!”

Tune in to "Like it or Not" every Friday 4-5pm!
