HC: We hear you’re quite the radio phenom. How’d you get into that, when did it all start?
What would you say your dream job is?
AR: Well, I started my Red Sox podcast when I was a high-pitched twelve-year-old, and I have continued hosting podcasts and radio shows as my voice developed into a sleek, smooth, succulent baritone. But most of all, I do it for the groupies.

  HC: Well besides the groupies, what’s your favorite thing about radio?
AR: The fact you can talk total nonsense and get paid for it if all goes well. Because that’s what I like to do, talk complete nonsense. I love that you can make a career out of talking total BS.
 
HC: Definitely sounds appealing. So, thinking about radio as a career? What’syour dream job?
AR: It would probably be a talk show host. Like Regis.
  
HC: You do a lot of sports broadcasting, what’s your favorite sport?
AR: Baseball. Because it’s like life.
 
HC: What got you so interested in sports in the first place?
AR: I love the competitive spirit.

HC: Favorite thing about BU?
AR: The hustle and bustle of the city and the wealth of diversity.

HC: We definitely love the city life. What’d be your ideal date in this great city?
AR: A leisurely stroll from Warren Towers through the COM Lawn to Scoozi.

HC: Very romantic. We approve. Any big plans for the summer?
AR: I will be working at a restaurant busing tables, and in my spare time squatting in fellow campus cutie Kyle Clauss’ luxurious Kenmore apartment. But mostly working on my tan.
