Indie Street Radio

Our Story

Indie Street started as a broadcast radio show in fall 2004. For the next four years, Nick Rennis and Eric Murphy hosted one of the most popular shows on 88.9FM, WMXM at Lake Forest College. The original weekly, two-hour show was bumped up to a three-hour extravaganza in fall 2007. Indie Street began to take on a strong personality with features such as the New Music Sandwich and the widely popular Animal Battle series.

Though the years have seen many changes, Indie Street continues to deliver when it comes to reviewing the best there is to offer in the realm of independent music. In the podcast, you’ll experience all of the witty banter that the show has become renowned for and some exciting surprises for our all-new format.

Thanks for listening.

Eric Murphy

Eric is a dashing gent whose interests include philosophy, tech news, and Tim Kinsella. He graduated from Lake Forest College in 2008 with an Independent Scholar degree, which means almost nothing. Though video games take up a good amount of his time, Eric also frequents restaurants of all sorts to eat (vegetarian) things (mostly of the cheese variety). His dog’s name is Dakota, but watch out… she’ll bite yer toes.
