Mitchell Jeffrey

Host

Since 2013, I’ve hosted and self-produced over 170 live-to-air shifts, representing 700+ hours of independent broadcast operation. This included a permanent shift called Henhouse, Thursdays 6-10am (2014-2018), and casual fill-ins. Programming was almost exclusively music, with Station Continuity and Public Service Announcement breaks. See recent playlists.

Abridged aircheck (August 24th, 2017; approx. 8:40-9:05am; playlist). Microphone breaks; segues – some incorporating a short audio clip or station logo; use of station-supplied production pieces including legal ID and logos.

Interviews

Radio interviews tend to be aimed at a general audience, who may not have prior knowledge of the subject. The goal then, is to hold and steer a conversation on behalf of the audience, prompting the subject to say interesting things about themselves.

Live-to-air, unedited studio interview with Bob Log III following an in-studio performance (March 22nd, 2017)

Prerecorded, edited studio/phone interview with Pauline Lampton, artistic director of Miriki Performing Arts (July 24, 2019)

Prerecorded, edited interview in Japanese with the Surf Coasters, on-site at the Surfer Joe festival in Livorno, Italy (August 15th, 2016)

Online & Software Engineering

KFJC website – I completely redesigned it for the first time in 15 years. The layout better suits modern desktop and mobile form factors; content is more accessible; and listen time on the first-party popup player (which I also redesigned) increased 2.5x with the new layout.

KFJC Android App – I built a native Android app to access KFJC’s live stream, playlists and two-week archive of recent shows. It has an average rating of 4.8 stars and ~1000 installs on active devices.
