In this weekly portion of the blog, we feature a member of the DJ body to give you guys a sneak peek of the people behind the voices you hear on air. This is a DJ bio!
This week, the spotlight is on DJ Duckington, a member of WUSC since the fall of 2019, his first semester here! In 2020, he was able to cover The Shaky Knees Music Festival for us! You should be jealous. He has his free format show The Mallard Maniac every Thursday from 10PM-midnight! An amazing way to enter Friday, dare I say one of the most beloved days of the week.
