Rock School
Looking for a good New Year’s resolution? Consider listening to Rock School this year (and catching up on the last four and a half years of the show as well). Rock School is a radio show on KSLU, 90.9 FM, which is the campus radio station at Southeastern Louisiana University. The show, which broadcasts a new episode each week, features Dr. Joe Burns, a Communication professor at the university, and Chad P., a radio announcer and alumnus of the university. For each episode, Chad and Joe offer a playlist of songs revolving around a theme, interspersing the music with interesting stories and information about the songs, the artsts, and the relationships between the songs/artists and the show’s theme, much of which comes from the hosts’ combined years of experience working in radio as well as Burns’ academic study of music and culture.
