Benny Shaik

Benny took the training class at WHUS in the spring of 2005 at the ripe old age of 16, as a junior at E.O. Smith High School. He hosted two shows that summer, an overnight, "The Good Times Party Brigade" and the long running show "Cakewalk Into Town: Benny Shaik's Rhythm and Blues Revue" and was bitten immediately by the radio bug. After a short stint in Chicago attending DePaul University, Benny returned to UConn as a sophomore and was elected Fundraising Director at WHUS in the spring of 2007. The next year, he was elected Operations Manager, the student manager of WHUS, a position he held until April 30, 2010. He planned and managed the development of this website and currently assists in its maintenance.



Benny co-hosts "Boombox from the Boondox" with Apathy, Chum the Skrilla Guerilla and Blacastan. He lives in Manchester with his cats and roommate Jeffrey. He graduated from UConn in 2010 with a B.A. in Sociology and Urban and Community Studies and is currently the Web Projects Manager at the Partnership for Strong Communities. You can follow him on Twitter or connect on LinkedIn.
