Profile picture for Aaron Lindsey

Aaron Lindsey

I was born in front of a microphone. My parents owned a radio station when I was a child and I grew up spinnin' the hits! My profile pic is from 1988.
I eventually left radio in the early 90's and began my career as a graphic designer, but the radio bug never left.
The first podcast I ever heard was Scott Johnson's Extra Life Radio, and I was hooked.
In 2014 I started gathering microphones and audio interfaces.
My best friend and I started 'Weird' in 2016 and have never looked back.
In 2017 my other best friend and I started a Mystery Science Theater 3000 knockoff called Wisecracks Radio Hour.
