The Matt Margolis Show
October 2001 - May 2002

The Matt Margolis Show was a show on WSAM featuring the controversial editorial writer from The Informer, Matt Margolis. After a year of writing for The Informer, Matt chose to take his thoughts and opinions to the radio by discussing his weekly editorials in a radio show.  Besides school issues, Matt also talks about national politics from a point of view rarely represented in the college setting.

Spin City

In the Spring 2002 Semester, The Matt Margolis Show began featuring a segment called "Spin City", which was dedicated to playing new music. The segment featured bands like Brother Chameleon, The Mudhens, and Averi... The Matt Margolis Show was created to enlighten people with the thoughts and opinions that Matt has... but Matt missed playing music, which is what he originally did when he joined WSAM.
