Sandspur/WPRK/RTV Synergy

On Thursday's I have a hip hop radio show on WPRK, it is the most fun thing i do all week. Last week and this week i have put forth an effort to combine my radio show, the Sandspur, and RTV. I have a hip hop themed show; its focus is to play more underground hip hop, local talent and non-mainstream request. On Monday’s I go to Austen’s café, which regularly is a hipster type café but on Mondays it is totally different. On Mondays, Madd Illz the founder of Grind Time hosts a hip hop night. The theme of this night is to display local hip hop artist/fans/DJs through performances, or even just through freestyles. This place is really like a live version of my radio show, just with not as good of music. Since I am already involved with the Sandspur I thought it would be a great idea to write an article talking about Austen’s café and my experience there. This is a great story for the sandspur because it is a Rollins student’s account of a local coffee shop. Also I spoke to Tomas about doing a film a piece on Austen’s, thus completing the WPRK/Sandspur/RTV synergy.
