Lew Holmes

The 2021 Formula 1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix and the battle between Mercedes and Red Bull... I could probably go on for hours if we're honest.

I love learning and discovering new things, so outside of work I'm either traveling for concerts, book signings, or comic conventions. If I can't squeeze in a road trip then I'm usually in bed, buried under a mountain of blankets while reading (I have a tendency to finish a book in one sitting because I'm so captivated).
Ah, the age old question: dogs or cats? Or something else entirely, like an iguana?

What job at Boise State Public Radio do you think you'd be terrible at and why?
Engineering. While hearing about what our engineering team is working on is always exciting (and really cool) I'm far too clumsy to do what they do. Climbing towers and working on servers would not be a good mix and I'd probably break something by accident.

CATS 100%! Exhibit A: My handsome tuxedo boy, Archie!

From indie-pop and electro-pop to pop-rock and bubblegum-pop, I will always be a multi-pop-genre girly until the day I die!
What job at Boise State Public Radio do you think you'd be terrible at and why?
If it involves engineering, I would be an absolute lost cause. My brain cannot physically and emotionally handle the amount of knowledge it takes to know how technology actually works.

I love to expand my record collection at any point possible (currently have over 300 vinyls). It is a very expensive hobby, but if it is done right, it can become a massive profit.

What could you give a 30-minute presentation on with no advance preparation?

I have many hobbies and interests! I might be walking on the Greenbelt enjoying the fresh air, or spending time with family and friends.

Last but not least, I am always up for watching a good film or TV series.
Ah, the age old question: dogs or cats? Or something else entirely, like an iguana?
Dogs! I am open to cats and most other pets, but I cannot handle spiders or snakes. I currently have an adorable Toy Cockapoo named Chiquis (a nickname meaning "small" or "little" in Spanish), and she constantly makes me smile. She loves cuddles, fluffing her blanket, and putting on fashion shows with her favorite outfits.
What is your favorite local band or genre of music?
I think people might be genuinely surprised to peruse my Spotify playlists. My musical tastes span multiple decades, genres, and languages. Honestly, I will try listening to anything at least once.
What job at Boise State Public Radio do you think you'd be terrible at and why?
Most likely anything accounting-related, because true story...... math homework made me cry daily until about 8th or 9th grade. Numbers just don't like me and frankly, I don't like them much either.
What is one thing you are really into?
Pretty much anything Disney-related. If it comes from the house of mouse, I'm in! I am building my mouse ears collection like there is no tomorrow.

I'm a fan of jazz/funk/soul primarily, with some hiphop and classic rock vibes showing up occasionally too. Lyrics are always second place to a good beat, good baseline and/or a good melody.
What job at Boise State Public Radio do you think you'd be terrible at and why?
I'm sure I would be a terrible boss; I don't have the professional patience for budgets. I've actually worked in a lot of different roles within public radio when I was younger and I KNOW I'm terrible at working with membership databases and fundraising! Some days I'm pretty terrible at the job I have now! But, as my former TV colleague J Bates used to say, 'good or bad, it's all on its way to Pluto'

Home DIY projects (OMG I've become my dad)

I have recently discovered the Boise band Hillfolk Noir and their genre of music called 'junkerdash.' Good stuff.
