Who are you?\u00a0<\/strong>
\nFoxx Jackson, co-host of Death H\u00e4us and the Screening Room. Both of which you can catch at 6:30 Tuesdays and 6:00 Fridays respectively. I\u2019m a graduate student and this is my 3rd year DJ’ing on the station.<\/p>\n

What is the theme of your radio show?<\/strong>
\nDeath H\u00e4us is a heavy metal showcase focusing on metal, usually Death Metal, that is often ignored by mainstream radio. The Screening Room is a movie review show focusing on both current major motion pictures and classic films we feel deserve to be critically analyzed and promoted on the radio, for better or for worse.<\/p>\n

What gave you the idea for your show name and DJ name?<\/strong>
\nDeath H\u00e4us is named for \u201cDeath\u201d metal and the H\u00e4us for being in Hays, KS, a very German town. For my DJ name, Foxx is Fox Mulder in X-Files and Jackson for my favorite DJ, Wolfman Jack.<\/p>\n

What interested you in being apart of college radio?<\/strong>
\nBeing a media major, broadcast was an important part of my studies and radio allowed me to explore my passion for music while developing broadcast experience.<\/p>\n

What is your favorite part about college radio?<\/strong>
\nThe freedom we have to create our own shows and choose our content with few restrictions. Also, the variety KFHS has, it’s a diverse unique community.<\/p>\n

Why should people listen to your show?<\/strong>
\nHeavy Metal was a major force in the music industry during the 80’s and 90’s and while it isn\u2019t dead, its popularity has sadly declined. Despite popular belief, Metal has a multitude of subgenres and unique sounds. There\u2019s something in this genre for everyone and our goal at Death H\u00e4us is to assist music lovers in finding the Metal that\u2019s right for them.<\/p>\n

Who is your favorite band\/artist?<\/strong>
\nThat\u2019s a tough question, at this moment it\u2019s probably The Sword, a hard rock band from Texas, or Amon Amarth, a Viking Death Metal band from Norway.<\/p>\n

What is your favorite song?<\/strong>
\n\u201cSemi-Charmed Life\u201d by Third-Eye Blind<\/p>\n

What do you Netflix?<\/strong>
\nBojack Horseman, It\u2019s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and documentaries about literally anything.<\/p>\n

What is your least favorite song and why?<\/strong>
\n\u201cAsking for It\u201d by Shinedown. I think it\u2019s an arrogant and hypocritical song about being socially aware and in the band\u2019s words \u201cnot being a jerk.\u201d However, based on their other music and interviews it seems that Shinedown considers themselves \u201ctough guy Metal\u201d similar to Pantera and Sepultura, which I don\u2019t personally find to be the case. It\u2019s really just not a great representation of the genre that sadly gets exponentially more airtime than other, more positive, music.<\/p>\n

What is your least favorite Disney movie and why?<\/strong>
\nAm I allowed to say Star Wars Episode 7? Sure it looks great, but really they just rebooted ep. 4, it\u2019s like 99% the exact same story. Also, Kylo Ren is the worst Sith Lord in the history of the Sith, it\u2019s shameful.<\/p>\n

If you could have any superpower, what would it be and why? (only basic people say flying)<\/strong>
\nIt would be cool to control the weather. Then it would always be cloudy and never over 80 degrees. I really don\u2019t like Summer\u2026<\/p>\n

Where can people find you on social media?<\/strong><\/p>\n
