Connor
Announcer
Connor is a perpetually irritable radio host who swears he’s friendlier on air. A devoted reader and self-proclaimed Vonnegut disciple, he’s happiest when overanalyzing song lyrics or defending The Replacements as the greatest band of all time. His love for radio began when his dad would constantly ask, “What song is this?” — years later, he realized his dad just had a bad memory. He still hasn’t forgiven the world for overlooking Warren Zevon.
