The Kitchen Sink Radio Podcast with your host Elizabeth Klisiewicz: Recent Episodes
Elizabeth Klisiewicz
I have been involved with radio since 1978. I started my journey as an AM radio DJ, then became an FCC licensed DJ who worked at WMUA at UMass Amherst and landed later at community run station WTCC in Springfield. Years went by and then I taught myself how to produce Internet radio broadcasts. I had stints at three stations, most recently at the excellent Eardrumbuzz Radio. I am now an independent podcaster who produces a monthly music show, only available on this site. In 2023, I will reopen my Patreon page as podcasting is not cheap or free, nor is the music I buy. I play an excellent mix of indie rock, post punk, psychedelia, new wave, synth pop, shoegaze, dream pop, and tons of other genres. Please follow my podcast if you like what you hear. Thank you!
