This helps his passion of showing the broadcasters of the future how radio works through Brookdale's academic and student life programs.
While on the air, Tom likes to sneak in some of his favorite artists. So, when you hear some Radiohead, Spoon, or Lenny Kravitz you'll know why. Same goes for any ska tune you'll hear him play.
He often talks about some of his favorite movies and their music on the air. Be prepared for "The Big Lebowski", Martin Scorsese and Wes Anderson film references.
He often appears on the station's Instagram account talking about today in music history and spins songs related to a special anniversary like an album's release or musician's birthday.
