Interview by Hannah Schweitzer\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Alex Tuchi,\u00a0<\/span>Hollywood Ketchup (Wednesdays from\u00a08-10 PM)<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/b><\/span><\/p>\n What are you listening to right now?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n Right now, I\u2019m listening to a few things. I\u2019ve been really into the new Decembrists album because I\u2019m such a sucker for anything remotely indie folk. I\u2019ve also got Alabama Shakes, Raury, Glen Hansard\/Swell Season\/The Frames, The Mountain Goats (obviously), Kings of Convenience, Ella Mai, clipping. and a TON of musicals in heavy rotation.<\/span><\/p>\n What is your radio show about?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n Hollywood Ketchup is about a lot of things. Love. Loss. But mostly it\u2019s about whatever is on our minds that day. Most recently, we had an Oscars recap and a \u201cno-theme\u201d episode because we thought we had transcended beyond the necessity of a theme (over the course of that episode, we learned, sadly, that we had not).<\/span><\/p>\n What do you love about WTBU? What have you gained from WTBU?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n I love WTBU\u2019s willingness to try new ideas! I\u2019m currently working on developing a story podcast with Hannah Xue (who is indescribably talented) which we plan on releasing next fall! I never thought I could create something like that, and probably never would have without all of the internal support from friends and leadership at WTBU. And from this experience, I\u2019ve learned to ask for what I want creatively. Oftentimes, people are really willing to try new things if you just ask!<\/span><\/p>\n What inspired you to start your radio show?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n I was inspired to work on Hollywood Ketchup by Claudia DeTrempe, the undisputed queen of COM. We had mutual friends before I came to BU, and she\u2019s been an absolute blessing in terms of connecting me to people and places within COM. She invited me to intern on the show first semester, and I had such a swell time with her and her co-DJ, Juliet Beauchamp, that I decided to stay.<\/span><\/p>\n How would you describe your radio voice?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0I think I probably sound cooler on the radio. It\u2019s kind of like my regular voice is Urkel and my radio voice is Urquelle, if that makes sense. Is Family Matters too niche?<\/span><\/p>\n If you were best friends with any celebrity or artist, who would you be best friends with?<\/b> This is a tough one, but only because I\u2019m a big proponent of the idea that you should never meet your heroes. But I think if I realistically did have the opportunity to be friends with any artist, I would be remiss if I didn\u2019t pick Donald Glover. I\u2019ve always been the kind of person who wants to do everything, and he\u2019s definitely the epitome of what I want to be today. He\u2019s just so damn good at everything he does. And he was really the first person I had seen who took all of the rules that said, \u201cyou have to pick one thing; just be a writer or actor or musician\u201d and broke those. The way he transcends labels is something I really aspire to as well.<\/span><\/p>\n If you were any type of food, what food would you be and why?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n I think I would probably be a plum. Because no one really sits down and thinks, \u201cYou know what? I\u2019m really hungry for a plum right now,\u201d but when offered a plum, most people will jump at the opportunity and then remember how delicious plums are. I think we\u2019re all subconsciously thinking about plums most of the time. Or maybe that\u2019s just me.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0Do you have any hidden talents?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n I can jump really high. Like, really high. Growing up, I was a classic theatre kid and I loved musicals. The only problem was that I couldn\u2019t dance to save my life. So I learned a lot of tumbling and falls; things that would make me funny because the funny people never have to dance well. And from practicing that, I figured out I had a pretty good vertical jump. I think maybe I\u2019ve lost some of it, seeing as college doesn\u2019t provide a lot of opportunities for jumping, but last I checked, I can still touch rim on a regulation hoop.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Interview by Hannah Schweitzer\u00a0 Alex Tuchi,\u00a0Hollywood Ketchup (Wednesdays from\u00a08-10 PM) What are you listening to right now?
