Jeffery Ryan Long

Host, After Hours: Country Detours

Jeffery Ryan Long has been triggering records, sliding faders, and announcing call signs over the radio for over 20 years, both as a DJ at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa student-run radio station KTUH and as a Board Operator at Hawai'i Public Radio. Jeff's musical interests run the gamut from jazz to rock to soul to country and western. His primitive rhythm guitar skills help propel local rock band Oh the Possibilities along the deep fringes of popular consciousness. Jeff earned his doctorate in English from the University of Hawaiʻi.
