Nearly 4 years ago, PCC Radio Broadcasting student, Joe Armstrong developed his radio show “Independents Day,” as a class assignment for an advanced radio production class. From these humble beginnings, Armstrong has cultivated and curated his weekly music show, which now boasts well over 100 episodes. “Independents Day” proves just as powerful and professional a dose of quality content as anyone might hear on commercial and non-commercial radio, alike. Joe’s abilities as a producer, curator and musician himself have lent themselves well to a weekly program that promises in depth interviews with independent musicians and live-studio sessions, never to be heard anywhere else.
Joe Armstrong’s show is moving on, to bigger and better things I have no doubt! During his tenure here, many students have benefited from assisting with operating this show – learning skills unique to the very nature of recording and mixing live musicians.
Lancer Radio was better for the consistently high-level professional and engaging quality of Joe Armstrong’s unique producing abilities, and both he and his show “Independent’s Day” will be missed. Good luck, Joe and we all expect to be hearing you over the airwaves soon! It’s not if….it’s when!
