Jon Adler
Assistant Program Director / 88Nine On-Air TalentHometown:
Manitowoc, Wisc.
First concert:
The Pointer Sisters at the New Mexico State Fair (my family lived in Albuquerque for a year, and now I effortlessly know how to spell Albuquerque).
Hobbies:
I still love the look and feel of physical media (vinyl and CDs). I also have an unhealthy amount of shoes (however, I don't consider myself a "sneakerhead").
Favorite band/artists:
Bob Mould, and all of his related bands and solo projects.
What about you would surprise people:
Very little. I'll tell you pretty much anything you want to know.
Comfort drink:
Mixing iced tea with things — essentially, the Arnold Palmer effect.
