Spotlight: Troy Stoner Host of Sound Limit finds limitless potential in show. Story by By Sean Kelly of Connect Savannah. Not to be missed. 08/13/2020.

IN KEEPING with our regular spotlight of the DJs that make WRUU the best community radio station around, we chatted this week with Troy Stoner. Stoner is the host of Sound Limit, which can be heard on 107.5 FN or streaming at wruu.org

What’s your history in terms of radio, and your interest in community radio in particular?

I played trumpet in high school, and my parents had zero musical abilities. I did that for a while and met a friend who got me into electronic music. We bought a drum machine and a Korg Triton and started making music together, and that kind of developed. We said, “Let’s take this further,” and developed our education at Full Sail University for audio engineering. I graduated and went to New York to work in recording studios. I did that for a yearand a half, New York got expensive, and so I moved back to the South.

I met a lady in Savannah and came over this way, but the whole time I was still making music. One thing I realized as I got older and into oddball music, is that any time I travelled I’d scan the radio and look for noncommercial songs and stations. When I went to Seattle I discovered KEXP, and in Tallahassee where I’m from I’d listen to the community station there.

So how did you end up at WRUU?

My lady was actually at Graveface a couple of years ago, and overheard Dave Lake talk about how they were starting a radio station and were looking for DJs. My wife said, “Hey, my husband would be interested.” I got Dave’s information, and took it from there! Read the complete interview here at Connect Savannah
