What do you get when two 30-somethings show up on a Saturday morning and start talking about music?

At TCU, the answer is “The Tom and Steve Show,” which airs 9 to noon every Saturday on KTCU-FM (88.7), the campus radio station.

The show’s stars? Tom Urquhart ’99 (on the right) and Steve Levering, a couple of self-professed computer geeks. The two banter on air about bands — ever heard of Muse, Plaid, Suede, Mu-ziq or Chomsky? — and local musicians who don’t get much radio play.

“We just play what we like,” said Urquhart, 34, who spends most days as a sales representative for a Fort Worth printing company. “We try to showcase local bands, sometimes bring them into the studio. But we also just play a lot of stuff you’ll probably never hear on any other station.”

The radio gig started when Urquhart volunteered to deejay at KTCU in 1998 as a student, fulfilling a dream he’s had since his rich “radio voice” arrived at puberty.

Levering, a computer service specialist on campus, joined the team a few months later when Urquhart wandered into his office and caught him listening to Orb, an off-mainstream band. Soon, Levering’s massive CD collection and music expertise was on air, too.

The two have more than 2,000 CDs between them. “I really like it when someone calls in to ask about some group we’ve just played,” Levering, 32, said.

“It’s great to know you’ve turned them on to something they wouldn’t have known otherwise.”
