Volunteer DJ

Beard Radio started as a collaboration highlighting the best in roots rock reggae ethos, featuring punk, jazz, soul, indie and alternative rock and other protest music from all eras and regions. We play classic albums from little known artists as well as a compendium of mixed tape tracks. I actually do not have a phenomenally crazy beard by today's Portland, Oregon craftbeer-drinking lumberjack-hipster standards, but it has nothing to do with the music, so listen Fridays at 10pm & Mondays at 8pm.

Volunteer DJs

Tune in on Wednesday evenings from 8 to 9 PM for Josh's show "Good Enough." The show attempts to follow a theme to avoid complete randomness, and it is usually an hour of great rock, both new and old, and an eclectic mix of tunes from other genres. The music might not be great, but its Good Enough!

Producer

Kristin grew up overseas and has since developed a love for eclectic musical styles from various cultures.  She likes the outdoors, photography and is an avid steel drum musician. Before arriving to Unalaska in 2014, she traveled on tour with a Canadian steel drum orchestra.  She made her debut as a co-host on the AM Unalaska show with Vic (the most interesting man on the island) Fisher.  Then naturally started her own show, "KO on the Otter Radio Show" she enjoys livening and motivating fellow Unalaskans with their work days through her musical selections and themes.
