In August 2007, DJ Fly-Boi Mathyz introduced the first set of Radio PSI DJ Backup Buddies (two of those outstanding talents have since gone on to become regular Radio PSI DJs!... and the latest batch of Backups is just as promising!). The Backup Buddies fill in for Radio PSI DJs that can't make it to their shows, so that the listeners don't have to go home empty-handed. You never know when a DJ might have another engagement to attend to, but when they do, the Backup Buddies are up to the task, on the Backup Buddy mountpoint. The Backup Buddies are sort of like "regular Radio PSI DJs in training", and in the event that a Radio PSI DJ must leave, one of the Backups will be promoted into a regular DJ timeslot.

Buddy Wilhelm Scream (AKA Wilhemina Carmel) |
|
After putting on an excellent try-out show in November 2008, Buddy Wilhelm Scream became the first XX chromosomed Radio PSI team member. She became a part of Radio PSI with the goal to have fun and bring the fun(k) to listeners. Wilhelm Scream is fond of video game soundtracks, j-pop, techno and the various forms of rock music. Favourite artists/bands include Dido, The Eagles, Day After Tomorrow, Mami Kawada and possibly even KOTOKO to some extent. |

Buddy Papercut (AKA SliceMasterFlex) |
|
In November 2008, Buddy Papercut became the first official member of the Radio PSI team to hail from somewhere other than North America. From the moment the badboy Brit performed his tryout, people, people liked what they heard and knew they were going to be hearing a very different selection of music than they were typically used to on Radio PSI. In addition to his unique playlist, Slice brings some more serious musical talent to the Radio PSI team, so keep your ear to the ground for some for the pumpin' tracks he's apt to cut at any time. Buddy Papercut has a predilection for hip-hop and electronica music. |

Buddy Abby Rhode (AKA Abjure) |
|
In August 2007, Buddy Abby Rhode became the second Backup Buddy for Radio PSI. Heralded from past radio experience, Abby Rhode was a perfect choice, and came strongly recommended by DJ Carparama. Abby Rhode has plenty of past expertise, including starting out with Carparama at Real Life Radio, DJing at numerous Habbo radio stations, filling in occasionally for Midweek Radio, and even starting his own radio show. He'd taken a brief hiatus, but eventually made his return, and unfortunately had to take his leave from regular Backup Buddy duties due to work obligations. Buddy Abby Rhode brings to the table, an eclectic collection of indie/alternative rock as well as some classics from the 70s/80s. His favorite artists include, The Slip, Band of Horses, The Shins, and Silversun Pickups. |

Buddy Rolanda (AKA _rtfg54) |
|
Buddy Rolanda, a veteran of the former "Midweek Radio", secured his Backup Buddy position as a result of a dedication to excellence and a drive to improve, which is reflected in every one of his shows -- with the experience of each show he does, he is honing his skills and putting forth an increasingly better product. Buddy Rolanda is currently on the injured list, and will be indefinitely. He has no known favorite artists or genres, but there's a rumour going around that he's fond of weezer. |

Buddy MYSTERY (AKA ?????) |
|
Buddy MYSTERY could be YOU! Do you have past experience running a radio show? Are you tech-savvy? Can you work well with the other Backup Buddies and DJs? Are you responsible and can be trusted not to abuse the Secret Mountpoint when you're not supposed to use it? Are you influential, innovative, charismatic, and an upstanding member of Starmen.net? Then you could very well be the next Backup Buddy! Let ozwalled and/or BlackLeader know through a Forum PM that you think you have what it takes, as well as a link to an audio file of you hosting a small show. You might be considered for the next Buddy position! Buddy MYSTERY hasn't even been hired yet, how in the world are we going to know what his favorite things are? |
