DeAndre Simmons, Michelle Kelly, Lindsay Smith, and Erikka Loper stopped by the studio as a field trip for their class with Dr. Anthony Fleury, of Washington and Jefferson’s Theater and Communications Department. Each student hosts and/or produces a radio show on Washington and Jefferson’s college station, WNJR. The four took some time to talk to us about themselves, their education, and their radio shows, live on SLB.
