Matt & Jayce

Matt and Jayce are two ex-college radio guys who became ex-professional radio guys who are now professionally guys in other professions.  Their love of music and the ‘Big Idea’ of how to get radio RIGHT fuels this podcast.  They dive deep into song lyrics, genres, different radio formats, and climb all over the minutiae of music!  They even googled ‘minutiae’ to make sure they used it correctly. Tune in to hear rants about the music/radio industry, be a fly on the wall for interviews with special guests to discuss college radio and the music that inspired them, laugh along with some ridiculous music games and debates, and just have a lot of long-form fun, because there is NO Program Director to tell them they are doing it wrong! If you are a FAN of music, you will find yourself laughing along, shouting at the speakers, and having a good time!

    Episode 43: The One Where The Robots Take Over

    Send us a text Hey Xer's it's the latest and dare I say, most robotic, episode of XRadioX we've ever produced!  Maybe the episode with the fake, robotic baby is a bit more robotic than this one.  Maybe not? Anyway... It's episode 43 and Matt and I tackle the question of Robots and Radio.  Ever since you could automate a cart deck to go to the next cart deck with a tone, radio station owners have been trying to strike that balance of automation, scheduling efficiencies and the eternal question of...  Do I really need these pesky "personalities" to make this station LIVE and LOCAL.   Spoiler Alert...  You do, no matter what your reps tell you. Matt and I do a little talking about AI (Chatty) and how well the algorithm is not only programming your video feeds on YouTube but it's also influencing your music choices.  Think about it...  If you were into alternative college rock in the 90's, how different is your music feed now versus then?  You know it all sounds like late 90's Foo Fighters with a mix of Seven Mary Three, for you know...  Variety.  You can thank your previous music tastes and Spotty for making every song you like to listen to a variation of Monkey Wrench, Hey Man, Nice Shot and Cumbersome...  You know, for variety. Basically whether you like it our not the robots are taking over. We also play a game where I totally kick Chatty's robot ass.  Go on and listen.  You won't be upset. Check us out on the socials....

    Episode 41: The One Where We "Fix" Delilah!

    Send us a text Hey XRadioXers its another month and time for another episode of your favorite podcast and this time we're taking on the evening radio juggernaut...  (cue the bumper) DELILAH!!! (tires screeching to a stop)  You do know who Delilah is right?  You know Delilah...  The evening radio host who is basically the sonic version of Chicken Soup For the Soul.  She is the the warm blanket that can comfort you on a chilly, rainy night.  She's the voice that has stitched together a million broken hearts on your local Adult Contemporary station.  Specifically Cars 108 if you live in Flint, MI. ;) Delilah is kinda like if Oprah and Dear Abby lab built a radio host for middle aged love sick suburban folks who just needed a little musical nudge to say...  thank youI'm sorryI love youdinner is ruinedI failed the testI passed the testJK...  I failed itWe lost the houseThe car broke downDawn hates meReally...  She doesYou don't know DawnBut there's a good reason why she doesI digressAnd Delilah could give you the advice you need and play you a song to fix the situation.  Even if she couldn't fix it she would at least make you feel better about the whole thing. So, if you didn't know that is what the Delilah radio show is all about.  It's the safe space on your radio dial to request relationship advice, get a supportive "atta boy" or just air to the world that you are really sorry about that thing you did to Dawn that one time.  I swear Dawn, IT WAS ONLY ONE TIME!!! So tune in and enjoy XRadioX as we give Delilah a little advice on how she could jazz the show up.  A few new songs to play.  Maybe throw the word Rizz or Skibidi in there to help some of those confused Millenial parents communicate just a little better with their chat.  (Yeah I don't understand what I wrote there either...) Hit us up on  XInstragram & Threads (@xradiox_podcast) Email We are XRadioX!
