Erin Wolf
88Nine Music Director / On-Air TalentHometown:
West Bend, Wisc. (Milwaukeean since the late ’90s)
First concert:
CHICAGO with my parents at Summerfest in the early ’90s.
Favorite place to take a visitor in Milwaukee:
Any spot along Lake Michigan — trails, parks, etc.
How/why you got into radio:
I majored in print journalism but was definitely obsessed with radio since a young age. After graduation, I began volunteering as a DJ at 91.7 FM WMSE and haven’t left the industry, since. My favorite thing about community radio is how supportive it is of the local scene. Hit me up if you’re a local musician with a new song, EP, album, etc.
Comfort drink:
Cold months = hot cider. Warm months = sport tea.
