Local DJ Nene’s Path From Taping Radio to Morning Show
Nene recalls taping favorite radio shows in elementary school with Freddie Fresh and later turning that hobby into a career. A chance encounter with a program manager at an AM station led to his first disc jockey job while he worked at a jewelry shop. After four years, he earned a morning slot on WKST FM and aims to return to mornings someday, calling getting in the door his biggest achievement.

Communicating Doors delights with time hopping farce at New Castle
Louise Carroll reviews the New Castle Playhouse Annex production of Communicating Doors by Sir Alan Ayckbourn. Suzanne Cebula shines as Poopay with Mark Erickson and Michelle Tyma delivering strong supporting turns. The farcical time travel romp features witty dialogue, zany set pieces, and crowd-pleasing moments as characters loop through 1978 1998 and 2018 to alter fates and save lives. Audience laughter builds through outrageously staged scenes including an attempted murder, concluding with a warm recommendation to see the play.
