On Music from the Underground, hosts Courtney Coles and Maurice McFarland had UC Berkeley alum, Connie Lim in the studio.
Lim started writing and playing the piano at 8 years old, with the help of her now 95-year-old piano teacher. After going through her “teenage emo angst drama,” Lim started writing full songs to music. Her motivation behind composing music is to not go crazy.
When it came to comparing the music scene in Berkeley to the music scene in Los Angeles, Lim said, “there’s a lot more dancing in the Bay area.”

We were joined by a Nigerian priest who is based in the San Fernando Valley. Father IK is the parish head administrator at our Lady of the Valley Catholic Church in Canoga Park. The studio rejoiced with the sounds of nigerian music, and tales of a life that was left behind. Leaving us with a sense of what family truly is.
Join us next week right here on KPCRadio.com. Will be joined by Najla Adahy, who was born in Afghanistan, and is a local beautician.
This week on our show, we discussed sports on a college level. We had two guests; the first was Jon Gold who is the UCLA beat writer for the Los Angeles Daily News. We had him via telephone for the first ten minutes of our show. Gold covers football and basketball at UCLA, and has started to cover baseball as a result of their success this season.
Gold who is the UCLA beat writer for the Los Angeles Daily News talked about the changes at UCLA especially those at Pauley Pavilion. Gold also talked about the rugby team and how it fits in at a school like UCLA compared to San Diego State, which Gold attended.
Also joining us in studio was Pierce Athletic Director Bob Lofrano. Lofrano talked about the struggles a community college program faces, whether it be an athlete or team everyone faces struggles.
Coaches are not full time and that is something that Lofrano and Dean of Athletics Barbara Anderson want to change. Anderson and Lofrano do not want to lose the current number of teams but would like to increase it.
Next week on “Tackling the Valley” we will be looking at the professional game. Tune in at noon on KPCRadio.com to listen.
