Eric Hradecky is Northern Public Radio’s Production Director. Eric also works closely with our operations department, which is a fancy way of saying he coordinates the daily logs and automation functions of WNIJ and WNIU. He fell in love with music and radio at about the same time, spinning discs as a freshman at Downers Grove North High School’s WDGC. Eric’s career included stints at WZND and WGLT in Normal, Illinois and WDAV in Davidson, North Carolina. Eric began his nearly two decade run at Northern Public Radio on December 7, 1992, another day that lives in infamy.
