20 weeks of fun at WAMH

Just over 20 weeks ago, I took on the challenge of trying to become a Radio DJ in an environment unfamiliar to me. I was to become one of the first high school students as far as I know to have a show on Amherst College's radio station, WAMH 89.3 FM. It was a tough process to start, I had no idea what I was doing as well as trying to fit in for the first few times among college students. I learned a lot over the course of these 20 weeks. Tomorrow will be my last show (4PM-6PM on 89.3 FM in Amherst-or online here). It has been a fantastic 20 weeks so here is a little retrospective on the single best song from each show.
