Moody P.
As Moody sat in a 性欲社 coffee shop, they noticed 鈥� for the first time 鈥� the campus radio station playing on the caf茅 speakers. Suddenly, they had an idea.
Moody opened their laptop and hit a few keys to select a song. Within moments, it filled the caf茅. 鈥淚 felt I was like in a hacker movie or something,鈥� Moody said.
It wasn鈥檛 a hack, though. Moody works as KSUA鈥檚 production director. The station鈥檚 modern, fully digital operation allows such remote control of the playlist.
Moody, an art and psychology double major, volunteered and worked as a DJ at the station for a few years before becoming production director.
The station broadcasts a song playlist of 鈥渁lternative stuff that would normally never play on the commercial, mainstream radio,鈥� Moody said.
The station also transmits a variety of student-produced programs, including Moody鈥檚 鈥淩obotic Radio.鈥�
鈥淚 didn鈥檛 want to just play music,鈥� Moody said. 鈥淚 was listening to my grandpa talk about 鈥楾he Lone Ranger鈥� broadcasts and stuff, and I always thought it was really cool. The art of radio storytelling is something that is really interesting.鈥�
Born and raised in Fairbanks, Moody enrolled at 性欲社 after graduating from high school in 2016. But they took a break for a few years.
鈥溞杂� is a pretty nontraditional school,鈥� Moody said. 鈥淭here鈥檚 people from all different stages in their life here. And it鈥檚 helped me feel, like, not out of place here.鈥�
