This week and next we are highlighting Tom Traynor, host of the Eclectic 180 which airs Wednesdays at 2 pm. Tom came to KUPR as a rookie, but has certainly earned his DJ label with a weekly three-hour show and hard work behind the scene keeping the wheels turning. Tom volunteered to be a KUPR DJ after a life-long love affair with music, live concerts and a huge crush on Janis Joplin. His tastes are wide-ranging from zydeco to hip hop, to jazz and folk, rock and roll and bluegrass, the blues and guitar jams...and thus the eclectic theme of his radio shows.

Read a little about his background and sample an hour of next week's show.
