Paul Cavalconte has been broadcasting on local New York City radio stations, and coast to coast on Satellite and Network Radio for the past 30 years--but he started young, with Fordham's public radio powerhouse WFUV, and on to legendary stations like WLIR, WNEW, WNCN, Q104.3, CD101.9, and the late-lamented WRXP, where The Vinyl Experience was born.  Paul hosted Sirius Satellite Radio channels like Classic Rewind, Disorder, Planet Jazz and Folktown in the '00's, and was heard on the 24-hour jazz and classical formats of SW Networks, and the WDRE Modern Rock Network in the '90's.  Naturally, Paul accumulated a massive collection of LPs and 45's along the way, and now shares them all on The Vinyl Experience, drawing for the first time on each of the eclectic music genres he has worked through the radio years.
