I'm DJ Lady Jock, co-host of Time Traveling My Way. I’m here for the music. Music is therapeutic. It brings joy and life and makes me want to dance to the beat. KDHX is important because it connects people from all over the world.

I’m Rebel Mae, co-host of Thick as Thieves. And I’m Professor Elle. We’re here for the music!
Being here for the music is the shiver of goosebumps you feel when music overwhelms your senses. It’s a prayer, a meditation, a moment of zen.

Hi, my name is Mark, host of The Crooked Spire. I’m here for the music. I love and am fascinated by the music that I've been given the chance to play, and want to share those emotions with others. I’m delighted to be a volunteer at KDHX. KDHX is essential for those of us who want to wander down different musical pathways.

Greetings, this is G.Wiz, co-host of Time Traveling My Way. Just so you know, I’m here for the music because "I am music & music is me" So when the music stops, so does all things with soul, and I have no intentions of losing my SOUL!

I'm the Soopaman DJ Speed, host of The Boombox. I'm here for the music because it’s a vessel to lift our spirits, calm us down, and send us to a “real good feel good” moment. KDHX has been a staple for me since its inception, and it has allowed me to provide an honored service.

Has Construction Finally Cracked Flexible Working Practices?

1 year 8 months ago
