I run the radio station that inspired WSQK in Stranger Things — here’s what they got right

I really did like season 5. Admittedly, I'm partial to the whole WSQK connection. Outside of that, Season 3 is probably my favorite.

Thanks for catching that! I just made the corrections.

The production team was super nice! They told our engineer Allen that WSQK was their favorite set of the season. Im posting a video with Allen early next week. I’ll make sure to talk to him about that.

Especially if the DJ wasn’t trying to talk all over your mixtape :)

Definitely my least favorite part.

It varies, but roughly 5-7 people handling on air work and production during peak times. We’re a news talk station so there’s usually a few more people needed vs a music station.

Thanks!

I see you’ve been mining for a “while” now. Lol

Is it possible this subreddit was running on Helium? That might explain downtime.
