Tom
Schulte, host of Outsight Radio Hours, is an
avid, multi-genre music collector; a self-described
“music enthusiast”. After High School,
participation in punk and metalcore bands led
to Scruffy Tearaways and regional gigging. Tom
chronicled his adventure through music and opinions
in Detroit's Jam Rag alternative newspaper.
This column, Outsight, grew to other publications
and turned into Outsight Communications, providing
content for Internet and print media. Tom's
broadcasting experience began with being a guest
on local radio shows then came a Thursday morning
program on WPON-AM (Pontiac, MI). After sharing
new music discoveries there for over a year,
Tom became the substitute host for WDET-FM Detroit
Public Radio.
Tom
began an Internet Radio program in 1998 with
the home-produced Outsight Radio Hours. Still
going strong nearly a decade later, the show
features mostly new recordings and focuses on
independent and small-label talent. Each week
a show features a live phone interview. Past
guests from the eclectic program include Les
McCann, Neil Smith (Alice Cooper Group), and
Billy Sheehan. Tom has been Internet-aware and
involved since acoustic modems and Freenet.
He is an application developer building Internet
solutions for manufacturers. As a person that
spends his free time exploring new music and
collecting vinyl, Tom sees Internet radio as
a perfect synthesis of career and extracurricular
interests. Also, he would love to tell you about
his reading list and chess.
