Radio
Long-time radio broadcaster
Ryan has been a volunteer disc jockey at Northstate Public Radio since
summer 2008. His 6+ years of on-air radio experience includes stints
hosting weekly music programs at UC San Diego's KSDT and Michigan Tech
University's WMTU.
Northstate Public Radio is the National Public Radio member station for Chico and Redding. With a broadcast footprint approximately the size of the state of Ohio, Northstate Public Radio reaches from north of Sacramento to the Oregon board.
Ryan is regularly behind the mike for "Evening Jazz" and "Blues People" about four times a month. Ryan now enters recent playlists on Spinitron.
Podcasting
At the Enterprise-Record, Ryan launched and anchored the newspaper's daily audio podcast, Newsroom Update.
The podcast provided a daily bulletin of news headlines for readers. It was also a tool used to help train newsroom personnel in audio production.
Newsroom Update was discontinued in 2008.
Currently, the E-R sports reporters record two weekly podcasts -- the Prep Show and the ChicoER Sports Show. I provide production assistance and help upload it to the Web.
