	Ryan Gavin Nicknames: The Gavinator, R-Gavs Favorite Bands: Bobby Byrd's 1978 album "Mountain Fiddler" should have gone platinum. Favorite Movies: I love good film, but most of the stuff that comes out now doesn't even qualify as film. I started collecting movies as a kid, and the collection has grown to more than 700 now, so this is a hard question. Sci-fi that's done well, and anything with Robert De Niro or Jack Nicholson gets top marks. Best of all time? The Godfather, Casablanca, or The Shawshank Redemption. Hard to pick! Favorite Food: Burritos from Chipotle. Did I mention I'm not a hipster? Also, bacon. About Ryan: Ryan Gavin is studying radio broadcasting at NESCom, and started at WHSN in the fall of 2012. Since 2009, Ryan has produced and presented a variety of college radio programs across Maine, and chose NESCom to hone his skills and get ready for a career in broadcasting.

	Shawn Duross Shawn Duross is a senior in the Live Sound program at NESCom. He has been on the air at WHSN since 2008 doing everything from production, to late-night, to the morning drive and is currently the host of the Unbalanced Breakfast Club on Wednesdays and Fridays. His favorite part is taking calls from listeners and playing what they want to hear. Radio is not Shawn's major, but he loves being on air at WHSN and spends most of his free time in the studio. When he is not on-air at WHSN, Shawn also DJs weddings and other events around the state. When he graduates from NESCom in May, Shawn hopes to find work doing installations, setup and engineering of audio and lighting systems. But no matter where his career path takes him, Shawn will always have an inherent love for being ON-AIR.
