A lover of all things lyrical and soulful, she’s passionate about uncovering the heart behind the music and sharing it with listeners. Beyond SiriusXMU, you’ll find Sarah voicing promos on Stars and producing shows on Radio Andy, always on the hunt for fresh voices and sounds that need to be heard.

Lauren Sauer keeps her eye on everything new and upcoming in the music world as a self-professed fangirl – if it’s happening on social media she probably already knew about it. An avid supporter of artists in the indie and singer-songwriter space, she's looking to shine a spotlight on the underrepresented voices of music any way she can. She lives in Washington, DC with her menace of a cat, Freddie (after Freddie Mercury, of course).

Jenny Eliscu
For more than twenty years as a music journalist, Jenny Eliscu (@jennylsq) has focused on helping musicians and songwriters tell their authentic stories, whether here at SiriusXM, in written form, on her LSQ podcast, or as a documentary producer. She loves interviewing artists about their music-making process and sharing those insights with listeners. She also has a passion for discovering and championing new artists, and always keeps her ears open to exciting, innovative sounds. Eliscu has been on-air at SiriusXM since 2006, and is currently a full-time host on SiriusXMU and The Spectrum.
Josiah Lambert encourages listeners to open ears and minds to emerging artists and curious, compelling new sounds. During his decade+ on SiriusXMU, he’s interviewed artists such as Pixies, Washed Out, Clairo, Toro Y Moi, DIIV, and many others. When not broadcasting, and possibly at the time of this very reading, he’s either meditating or re-re-watching Twin Peaks. He lives with his family in Washington DC.
JaRon
After a knee injury brought JaRon's competitive ballroom dancing career to an end, he found work as a door-to-door vacuum salesman. Upon being fired from that he made his way back to Los Angeles where he found work in radio.
Nick Masi was born in the sunshine of California, raised in an Italian deli in Connecticut, and woke up in New York City. Concertgoer. Deadhead. Be kind. Say hello! Go Yankees! “If you get confused just listen to the music play.”
