Rachel Ryder- Program Director/The Morning Message Host
Rachel Ryder has been around SAU Radio since 1999, and loves every minute of it. As program and music director, she knows a thing or two about music and computers. She's the one to ask about the latest technology or what song you just heard on the radio. If she isn't sure, give her some lyrics and she'll look up the song on her iPhone for you.
When she's not hosting The Morning Message (mornings 6-9), you might find her catching up on the latest decorating shows or taking care of her husband, David. Email Rachel
Josh Bentley- Afternoon Host
When Josh Bentley was a child he drove his parents crazy by talking so much. Little did they know, one day someone would actually hire him to talk! Josh has worked for Christian radio stations in Alabama, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and now Michigan. He loves Christian music because it keeps his mind on positive things throughout the day.
When he’s not working Josh likes to read about politics and current events. His wife Kassandra is an attorney and the two of them enjoy good-natured debates. Josh also loves playing Wii tennis (he could never get the hang of it in real life).
George Jackson- Midday Host
George Jackson III came to SAU Radio in fall of 2008. George is a sophomore broadcasting major. He first became interested in radio after being told multiple times that he has a nice low voice that seems perfect for it.
George is an avid sports fan and loves to participate in fantasy sports year round. When he's not hosting during the midday (11:30 - 1) you can find George doing homework, playing video games, doing something sports related, or being active in the SAU choir.
