Asia Burnett
Station ManagerAsia Burnett is the WKMS Station Manager.
Getting to interact with uniquely thoughtful and intelligent WKMS listeners, donors, and local businesses each day is the best part of her job. You can find her grooving to Sounds Good or The Kitchen Sink, delving into the why of everything on Hidden Brain, or generally learning something new from WKMS. She also enjoys Farmers Markets, trivia contests and wonderfully weird local art.
