I'm the Production Coordinator at Vocalo.org. You'll find me in the booth, in the field, in a bunch of meetings and, hopefully, in a small space in your heart. I help the producers produce and orchestrate some behind the scenes stuff. And I spend a lot of time keeping our broadcast software happy.

In my life outside of Vocalo (it can happen from time to time...) it's still all audio all the time. I operate Prize Beagle Recording, a smallish analog and digital recording studio in downtown Chicago, which specializes in working with home recordists and local bands. I'm also a drummer and bass player. I have two cats, am step-dad to two dogs, and have over 80 paintings of Snoopy on black velvet.

Lloyd Brodnax King is Content Director for Vocalo.org. Lloyd received his BA in Music from Marlboro College and his MM from Roosevelt University. He's won many awards for music composition and for his retired podcast, the obscure news, including an NEA fellowship, an Illinois Arts Council fellowship and a Joseph Jefferson award. He's held jobs as house painter, musician, college professor and academic administrator. Currently Lloyd runs the Factory at Vocalo, an audio production house and training center dedicated to helping volunteers and collaborators produce better radio. The Factory trains folks for free on Saturdays (write info@vocalo if you're interested). For fun Lloyd hangs around home with his wife and dog, plays in a band called funkadesi, and a band called the Other Brothers.

I'm the General Manager of Vocalo.org. What a priviledge to work alongside a talented staff and more than 3,500 creative and talented online contributors who collaborate with us to produce more than 60 hours of broadcast each week. We recently increased the signal power to bring the FM broadcast to more of Chicago and better serve the people of Northwest Indiana.

Did you know we've broadcast more than a thousand user contributed submissions? Get in on the action! Take a listen to our short audio "How To" which will provide you with all you need to get going with YOUR contributions to the broadcast. This is YOUR service, your station. We play your stuff!

Jesse first got on the mic of a community radio station in 1993 and has been hooked ever since. She has been on the airwaves of WBEZ and KQED, and brought home an Associated Press Award while serving as News Director at WVFS. Her interest in radio has grown to an interest in sound art, and she now works with both recorded sounds and kinetic sound sculpture. You can check out her artwork here and at Favorite Chicago Sounds, an online archive she created of the favorite sounds of Chicago residents.

The daughter of a Japanese mother and a Caucasian-American father, Jesse grew up at Disney World (aka Orlando), and has lived in Tokyo, Yokohama, San Francisco, and Chapel Hill, where she got a Master's degree studying Asian American identity in documentary video. Jesse has always wanted to live in Chicago, but never thought she'd make it thru the winters. She was happy to discover that she could survive, with the help of a good pair of ski pants.
