About

Hello! I’m Dan Cahill, and like the home page says, I’m creating great audio.

I’m an experienced audio engineer, with over ten years of work to my name, beginning in 2011 at Brooklyn College. I graduated from Brooklyn College with a Bachelors in Radio & Television Production, as well as a certificate in Screenwriting, in May of 2014.

From my very first semester, I was a member of Brooklyn College Radio. I got my start on the improv comedy show Vernaculus, which ran until late 2013. In 2012, I began hosting my own show The Captain’s Corner, in addition to my role on Vernaculus.

The Captain’s Corner was a one-man show dedicated to all things film. Reviews, previews, new releases, anything related to movies was fair game on the show. While hosting, I portrayed a character, The Captain, who served as an extension of all of my negative feelings towards film. Each episode was told from the perspective of a captain making speeches to his “loyal crew” AKA the audience.

After graduating and ending The Captain’s Corner, I began working as Assistant Production Director at Radio Woodstock 100.1 WDST-FM in Woodstock, NY in September of 2014. In my time at Radio Woodstock, I was fortunate to be able to hone my skills each and every day, and form relationships with both coworkers and clients that I value deeply to this day.

I was given the opportunity to get back into an on-air role in July of 2017, when I was offered the Evening Host position. Playing those songs, and talking with the Radio Woodstock audience created memories I will cherish for a lifetime. Plus, I got to play rock music in a church! How cool is that?

Unfortunately, like many in my industry, the pandemic changed several things. My hours were cut to 5 hours a week over 2 days in March of 2020, just enough to voice track my evening shift and really nothing more. A year later, in April of 2021, it was no longer financially sustainable to stay at those hours, so I left Radio Woodstock and started an apprenticeship with IBM.

I often find myself listening to new music and saying “wow I wish I could play this on my show,” or I see a business and think how their spots would sound.

I’m excited for what the future holds for me in terms of my radio and audio career, and hope you’ll join me on this journey!
