Maximum Fun’s newest show Heat Rocks debuts on Tuesday, October 3rd! Yesterday, you learned a little bit about host Oliver Wang. Today, we’ll introduce you to host Morgan Rhodes!
Tell us a little about yourself.
I’ve been a music supervisor for five years and in radio for ten, both as a music programmer/DJ and as a music critic. I’m currently working on Season 2 of Dear White People which airs in the spring of 2018. I love working around music.
What led you to create Heat Rocks?
I’m so talkative when it comes to music so initially I thought about having a show where Oliver and I talk about the songs and albums we love. Then I thought it might be interesting to create space for artists and scholars to be generous, to speak well of other peoples work. It’s been incredibly rewarding listening to artists and scholars we are fans of wax poetic about their personal heat rocks.
What are you most excited for people to hear on the show?
I’m most excited for people to be as surprised as Oliver and I have been at the albums our guests have chosen. Their heat rocks have been wonderful surprises.
What’s one thing that’s surprised you about the process of making this podcast?
I had no idea Maximum Fun’s studio was so cool. It is small but mighty!
What’s your personal heat rock?
Wow. How much time do you have?
