In the Kate Gleason Auditorium of the Bausch and Lomb Library Building is a Media in Focus: Radio Roundtable featuring Mona Seghatoleslami, Maureen Rich, Derrick Lucas, and Jennifer V., hosted by Bob Scheffel.

Have you ever wondered how local radio DJs pick what music to play or how they got started in the radio business? Join us as the Reynolds Media Center hosts a panel discussion with local DJs about the radio business model today, their broadcasting careers, and much more. Panel moderator, Robert Scheffel, host of WBER's weekly Spotlight Review, will guide our guests in a fascinating discussion. Mona Seghatoleslami is the host and producer on WXXI Classical 91.5 FM. She also hosts the lunchtime concert series Live From Hochstein, interviews musicians, produces special programs, and works on any project she can find that helps connect people and music in our community through WXXI. Maureen Rich, host of Road to Joy on Different Radio, 88.5 WRUR, & 90.1 WITH (Ithaca), takes you on a musical journey of joy, passion, happiness, comfort and sorrow. Maureen also works for WXXI Reachout Radio, a reading service for people who are blind or print impaired. Derrick Lucas, host of The Spectrum on Jazz90.1 every Sunday night.
