Thomas Hood has been involved in music and sound recording since childhood, making wire recordings with his father, a jazz guitar player with the Charlie Barnet Band.
Now a multi instrumentalist playing 6 and 12 string guitars, electric guitars, basses and keyboards, he is an independent music and radio producer. In 1985 he established Hood's Woods Music, a private music recording studio.
As a radio producer and programmer since 1968, he has extensive experience in public radio, having spent time at KPFT FM, KAOS FM, WLNV FM, KBOO FM and KMUN FM.
Specializing in remote field recording, he was a sound designer for the Janus Professional Sound Library. He has also worked with the Oregon Historical Society, providing audio restoration services for their "Portland" exhibits.
He has produced independent radio documentaries, such as “God is Dead”, focusing on controversial timber cutting practices on the public lands of Oregon.
He is co-producer and co-host of the
The Traveling Radio Show , a wacky, off-beat public radio travelogue.

I love Italian music and I play it with Lucia on the the Italian Hour.
Afro-Caribbean Showcase will be a weekly slot, Wednesday's 3-5:30 am, which is hosted by programmers from a rotating pool of diverse dj's and programmer's. You'll hear ska, rocksteady/soul, reggae, reggae crossovers, dancehall, dub, dubstep, and all sorts of 'hybrid's' with reggae influence. a different program each week. I (Ras Danny) will be scheduling but not necessarily participating.
The Lecture Room is not an actual on-the-air radio program. Nevertheless, it is still pretty good.
First off, a big "THANK YOU!"/ "GRACIAS" for supporting KBOO by listening and becoming a member!
I was born and raised in Oregon listening to music that was all around me. My parents were hard workers but they also loved to have a good time. Thus, we always had music around us. I developed a passion for Tejano/Conjunto music back when I was a teenager. Asa KBOO programmer, I want to share that passion with the KBOO listeners and have them experience the joy that it brings me.
Please don't hesitate to contact me during the show or via this website. I would love to hear from you!
