I am very happy to post this interview I did with Aaron Henkin, producer of the arts show The Signal on Baltimore's NPR affiliate 88.1 WYPR.

We chatted about what it means to be a DJ these days, the traveling I've done, and my musical philosophy in general. If you want to know what I think, the Funny Accent mix and this tell you the most.
