Sara O’Brien – General Manager
My favorite thing about being General Manager at WUAG is that I often get to be the person who initially helps curious people get plugged in to some of the goings-on around the station. Other than that, I do your basic (and not so basic) menial managerial tasks while surrounded by awesome WUAG folks.
When not facilitating meetings of the minds or checking the mail, I’m either at a WUAG Presents event, drinking coffee, and/or walking my dog.
Feel free to contact me about any WUAG related concerns, questions, or suggestions!

Spencer Auten - Program Director
As program director at WUAG, it is my responsibility to ensure that our DJs deliver quality radio broadcasting for our listeners. If YOU are interested in having a show at WUAG, I am the guy to talk to! Each semester I create a DJ schedule that allows our listeners to experience the aural splendor that is 103.1 FM. I also do some housekeeping around the station: making copies of program logs, filing paperwork etc. Occasionally you can find me at Tate St. Coffee House for those of you who need your daily fix of caffeine, which is another crucial component of any perfect day. I don’t have a cool blog to follow, but you can reach me at program.wuag@gmail.com

Stuart Barefoot – Sports Director
So as my title suggests I am in charge of all things sports related here at the station. I almost went to the NBA straight out of high school but decided to come work at WUAG instead. But seriously, I mostly write and record sports updates and host a weekly sports show called The Sports Cycle. I’m always looking for creative stories to record and broaden the range of sports we cover. So if you ever want to do a report or know of someone who might make a good guest on the show, then by all the means, let me know and I’d love to help you. I’m also a Geography major here at UNCG so when I’m not consumed with sports, I’m usually doing research, making maps that quantify research, and griping about suburban sprawl.

Carla Guzman - News Director
As WUAG’s News Director I try to bring pertinent news to the station whether it is important locally, nationally, or globally. Mostly I like to stick to what is relevant to Greensboro since that is our location. I am open to all stories though!
Just a little background information about me, I am a California native and come from an immigrant family. I hated North Carolina when I got here but now I love it. It’s changed my perspective in many ways and I can’t wait to have the chance to travel/ live outside and inside this country. Immersion is the best way to learn a new language and culture!
http://wuagnews.tumblr.com/ lookin’ clean. I am your News Director people, I am here for you, I am here because of you.I look forward to working with YOU!

Reed Benjamin – Productions Director
As Productions Director for WUAG I host a weekly radio show called Radio Greensboro that has a live band (local-national) play a set on air on Sunday nights from 8-10pm. The show usually contains an interview with the band. In addition to wuag.net, you can visit Radio Greensboro at radiogreensboro.tumblr.com. This site contains a regularly updated schedule of upcoming bands, archived photos, mp3s, and more! Radio Greensboro also has a Facebook group with other important updates and info.
I believe in local music and the potential of artists in North Carolina. It is my goal to provide local musicians with an outlet to have their music heard by many while retaining a quality representation of their music and having a positive experience for everyone involved.
I also enjoy a good cup of coffee and a nice glass of orange juice. Usually separate from one another.
If you would like to book your band on Radio Greensboro please contact me at radiogreensboro@gmail.com
Also go to www.myspace.com/radiogreensboro to see what bands will be coming to the show soon.
Danni Brower – Promotions Director
Office 306, Brown Building * 336-334-5588 * wuagpromotions@gmail.com
As promotions director for WUAG, not only am I the station’s official horn-tooter, but I also get the word out on anything and everything awesome going on in Greensboro and beyond. The bread and butter of my job is putting together flyers and posters for our events, canvasing the city with them, compiling our concert and event calendars, and writing and recording PSA’s.
I’ve also started doing a weekly promotions show, cleverly called “The Promotions Show,” which currently airs Sundays 4-7pm. The show features a concert preview- an audio companion to the hourly concert update- pre-recorded interviews on upcoming events, and ticket giveaways almost every week.
The show is now Facebook official, so check the page for updates on each week’s features and giveaways and archives of the programs, as well as general shout-outs with lots of tags.
If you have an event or organization doing something awesome in Greensboro, want to find out how to get involved, or just want to share how deeply meaningful WUAG is to you, shoot me an email at wuagpromotions@gmail.com
