Meet David Gabriel, Programmer

David is the host of Sonic Antidote which airs Wednesdays from 10-11am.

 

How did you first get involved with Royalton Community Radio?

Driving through the WR Watershed three years ago, I happened upon 96.5 and knew I wanted to be part of the community. The diversity reminded me of college radio – the KNAC, KDVS and KALX of my youth.

 

What’s your role at the station, and what do you love most about it?

I am programmer of Sonic Antidote and do the occasional remote event. It’s great overlapping with Carl and Ralph at the studio. Doing events and covering others’ shows I get to learn about other good humans who make up WFVR.

 

How has being part of RCR impacted you or your connection to the community?

It’s been a fun ride this first year, and a nice bridge between my Tunbridge neighbors, Royalton peeps, and old friends. Our programmers all bring impressive knowledge of musical histories and genres.

 

Any fun behind-the-scenes stories from your time on air?

I asked the lads, Noah and Aidan, to share tracks from their respective years at Berkeley H.S. – and Aid joined me in the studio. (He promised not to play any Fetty Wap.) I actually enjoy listening to (most of) their music.. and am glad they’ve learned to play instruments too.

 

If you could describe RCR in three words, what would they be?

Really. Cool. Radio.
