ASSISTANT GENERAL MANAGER
SARAH WALCOTT
Sarah Walcott (she/her) is the Assistant General Manager and proud co-host of Are You Decent? (7PM Sundays!!!). Her dream is to follow Carter M around and assist them in anything they may need. She is from San Francisco and loves to talk about it. Sarah is a World Politics major and likes to think of it as history but in the wrong order. Reliably found at McEwen breakfast and wandering the halls of KJ.
Assistant Music director
WILL KRETZ
Will (he/him) is WHCL’s other assistant music director. He’s a casual, playful guy who loves to have fun. Will is the host of solo show Ancient Algorithms and triple-hander All Mics on Deck with the music direction team. He loves the way music sounds. If you see him around campus, give him a big smile and a wave and there’s a good chance he’ll smile back.
Music director
CARTER LEFKOWITZ
Carter Lefkowitz (he/him) is a sophomore from Northfield, MN and currently sports a mustache. This is his first semester on the WHCL E-Board and is the Assistant Publication Editor for the Wattage. He is a potential World Politics Major, is “on” the Ultimate Frisbee team (though injuries have sidelined him for the time being :/), loves going to trivia, and is an avid Dunham tent enjoyer. He hosts a show (name TBD) with his current roommate where they banter about their musical hot takes and their weekend adventures. He likes almost all genres of music except for some country, EDM, hip-hop, pop, jazz, metal, etc. He enjoys making guac while listening to artists such as Thundercat and Steely Dan. If you need him for any reason, you can find him on the 5th floor of South.
assistant music director
NIEVE TONNA
Nieve (She/Her) is one-half of the Assistant Music Director, and her other half, Will, definitely has a cooler bio. Regardless, Nieve is a sophomore and government major. No, she doesn't know what she will do with that degree after college, please stop asking. Her top artists right now are Kali Uchus, Neil Francis, and Donna Summer, who are also in her dream blunt rotation. If you see her around campus she will most likely have at least one airpod in with music blasting.
Staff and Programming Director
Ian O'Reilly
Ian O’Reilly (He/Him) is the Staff and Programming Director of WHCL. He’s the freshman host of the critically acclaimed show “The Forge” for which he has won 11 Oscars, 13 Grammys, 12 Tonys, a (daytime) Emmy, and the Most Valuable Player award for the NBA. He was recruited to Hamilton College for radio showing as the top rated prospect in the nation, with scouts calling him “really good at radioing”. His long hair is full of secrets. It knows who killed Kennedy. It knows where Jimmy Hoffa is. It knows what WHCL actually stands for. Anyways, Ian is also an avid unicyclist and you’ll never see him without his trusty unicycle, Arthur. Often, he’ll be spotted cycling along Martin’s Way, juggling pears and playing a harmonica. If you see him, say hi.
COMMUNITY DIRECTOR
JONATHAN MEAD
Since 1998, Jonathan has been host of Anywhere But Here, the longest running World Music program in the Mohawk Valley [citation needed]. If you're one of those people who thinks the millenium began January 1. 2001, then he has also been a member of WHCL's eboard since the last millenium, filing FCC paperwork, soldering microphone cables, automating radio programming, expanding dj's lexicons of forbidden words, and advising the eboard that they might not want to do that at this time.
Publicity Director
Victoria falcon
Victoria Falcon (she/they) is a casual vibe curator, lover of the world, and current Publicity Director of WHCL. If she’s been staring into the distance lately, she’s probably trying to reconcile the material and the abstract (get a load of this guy!) or maybe just figure out what she wants to major in (Anthro. or Phil. - depends on the weather). Their top artists lately are LUCKI, Arca, Title Fight, Lisa Ono, and Cocteau Twins.
Events Coordinator
Ruby bakal
Ruby is the Events Coordinator for WHCL. She loves music. For example, some of the music she likes is Reggie Pearl, Fiona Apple, and Frank Ocean. She also loves other things, like for example frisbee, hiking, shooting the moon in hearts, the perfect pair of pants, and gas station snacks from foreign countries. She wants to get a tattoo of a river in some form but can’t figure out how to make it look cool so if you have ideas let her know.
SENIOR ADVISOR
catherine vogt
Catherine Vogt (she/her) is a Senior Advisor, World Politics major, Milbank resident, and a Connecticutian. She has had a radio show since her freshman fall and has been on the E-Board since her sophomore fall in multiple capacities. Catherine’s favorite artists include Elton John, Maggie Rogers, Frank Ocean, Simon & Garfunkel, and Peach Pit. She took classical piano lessons for eight years as a child and has a soft spot for Mozart and Tchaikovsky. When she is not WHCL-ing, Catherine enjoys playing for Hamilton’s club soccer team, cooking in her suite, and re-watching Sex and the City.
Senior Advisor
lucy seward
ASSISTANT PUBLICATION EDITOR
MADDIE cloutier
Maddie (she/they) is an Assistant Publication Editor for WHCL, a lover of thrifted sweaters, and is wanted in 12 states and 2 Canadian provinces. They’re from Chicago, but they now live in your walls and chew on your electrical wires (sorry for any blackouts!). In her downtime, you can find Maddie watching The Bear or The Sopranos, reading a fantasy book, or being really annoying about that one time Rhianna sampled The Cure . Their current favorite artists are Wilco, The Pixies, Slaughter Beach, Dog, and The Strokes.
PUBLICATION EDITOR
SAbrina Broderick
Sabrina Broderick (she/her) is the Publication Editor for the Wattage, WHCL’s music publication. She is a Literature major from “NYC!” Following a semester terrorizing Italy by stealing all of their cheese and a summer in Ireland haunting various pubs while faking a Derry accent, she finds joy by playing “Kristoff on the Shelf” in the studio, pondering her orb, and subjecting her friends to the top three worst handshakes she has ever experienced. She lives and dies by Google Calendar, and if asked to describe herself would say she’s in her “grandma era.” If you ever need to find her, look into a mirror and chant “Taylor Swift is mother” repeatedly. If that doesn’t work, check her bed - she’s probably napping. Xoxo
assistant PUBLICATION EDITOR
dylan buckser-schulz
Dylan (he/him) is your worst dream, your best nightmare, and an Assistant Publication Editor for WHCL. He is a freshman who will probably double major in Creative Writing and something more practical. A lifelong fan of The Beatles, Dylan has had impeccable music taste from a very young age, and he tries his best to be humble about it. Dylan might seem out of it these days because he is still mourning Pitchfork’s merger with GQ Magazine; despite this, Dylan tries to bring his all to his bands, Frumptet and Junior Varsity, and to his radio show, Valley Sounds. He loves to make some noise, and hopes you love to listen.
Webmaster
Ton somnug
Ton (he/him) is the Webmaster of the WHCL website. He enjoys listening to David Bowie, King Crimson, and The Who but he does have certain guilty pleasures (which will remain unknown). The only places he hasn't been on campus are Schambach and KTSA. Besides that he enjoys in modern history, film, and not having to wake up for a 9am class.
Studio Engineer
Rosie Villa
Rosie (she/her) is an outlaw, a rogue, and studio engineer for WHCL. Her only worry is the direction of the sunrise: east. She fears nothing, desires nothing, and never loses nothing. On an average day, Rosie wakes up, punches the sun, solders broken mic wires, spits on the sidewalk, and goes to sleep. She’s majoring in sociology.
MEMBER AT LARGE
Emily forslof
Emily Forslof (she/her) is one of WHCL’s members-at-large (woohoo!). She is originally from the West Coast (the best coast), and will correct your pronunciation of Nevada any day of the week (Nuh-VA!-duh). She believes she was born in the 70s and not ‘03, which you can tell if you listen to her radio show, Juicebox, every Sunday at 4pm. If you want someone to laugh at your jokes (especially the stupid ones), she’s your gal—she’ll probably already be giggling when you find her. Her favorite show is The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, which you probably shouldn’t bring up in her presence if you value your time. Emily loves anything green. She also loves jazz. Another useless piece of information about Emily is that her beloved Knott’s Berry Farm raspberry shortbread cookies were just discontinued, so if you see her sobbing on Martin’s Way, feel free to laugh at her. She’ll probably join in!
member at large
kat leon
Kat (She/Her) is one of the members-at-large here at WHCL! She’s also co-hosting the advice radio show, How To Beat The Sniffles, on Mondays at 11AM. If you see her walking down Martin’s Way with her huge headphones on, she’s either listening to Reneé Rapp, Bad Bunny, or Fall Out Boy. Kat is a dog-lover, expert stresser, and always talking way too loud. You can find her driving the jitney or hiding out in KTSA. You literally can’t miss her, with her bright red hair and big earrings. When you find her, ask what true crime story she’s obsessed with this week. Hint: it’s most likely cult-related.
