The Suscon Screamers

By Kim Nguyen ’23

Sem students are doing amazing work on campus everyday. But what about off campus? Mikel Salas-Warner ‘23 and Lauren Urosevich ‘23 have taken their love of music to King’s College. Lauren says “I honestly always thought it would be so fun to have a radio show and I feel like doing the show with Mikel is so perfect, since we are always sending each other new music to listen to. So we asked Mr. Doherty and he helped us get a show!” Their radio show “The Suscon Screamers”  is eclectic, meaning it features many genres of music like indie, rock, country, folk, punk, and midwest emo.

You may be curious about the meaning of the show’s name. Salas-Warner explains, “The name comes from the legend of the Suscon Screamer, a ghost that lives near the woods of Pittston, PA…me and Lauren became really good friends through making journeys to Suscon…and often during these drives we would be playing music. It’s also just a great name for anything, so why not for our radio show?”

Every aspect of the show is unique, making it entertaining and eccentric for its listeners. The hosts combine their favorite genres like 70s rock to maintain a mix of them since the show is experimental. If you are interested in listening, the show starts every Monday at 8:30-9:30 on 88.5 FM WRKC.
