Hi, my name is Iva and I’m a blogger and a DJ. My show is named “do you hear that?” I like to listen to a lot of different kinds of music, but I lean more towards an intense indie vibe; for reference I went to a penelope scott concert. A fun fact about me is that I’m a second generation American and my parents are from Serbia. You should check me out sometime (if you like cool people).

Podcaster
Mateo Nuñez
Hi! I’m Mateo, and I host the podcast, Madhouse On Halsted with my friends Om, Jack, and Cullen! I’ve hosted the show since March, 2023. We talk about the Chicago Bulls and other NBA news. I’ve loved the Bulls for as long as I can remember, and basketball is the only sport I pay attention to, so its great to have this show to express that, especially since I can share my other passion, music, with other members of Radio whenever I get a chance. My cohosts and I try to make Madhouse fun and listenable for everyone regardless of how much or how little you watch the Bulls! In fact, Om doesn’t even watch basketball… I hope you get a chance to listen to our often incoherent rambling and remember: lower your expectations and maybe you won’t cry at the end of every NBA season.
