Music Through the Day Host

DJ Malarkey

I grew up in Viroqua, WI and moved to Duluth in 2014 to attend UMD. I majored in Geography and started volunteering at KUMD as a Basement DJ, and now work at KUMD part time as a Music Through The Day host and music reviewer. I also host the Local and the Lounge on Wednesdays.

In my spare time I love going to shows, collecting records, and enjoying all the beautiful nature our area has to offer.

Malachy, co-host of The Local on KUMD, had a chance to talk with Erik Berry of the band about the shows and how he and the rest of the band have been adapting to the pandemic.
