RADIOHEART: The Drive and Times of DJ Kevin Cole explores the life and career of DJ Kevin Cole, tracing his path from the club dance floors of Minneapolis’ First Avenue to the digital halls of Amazon.com, to the global stage of Seattle’s KEXP. Through intimate interviews, archival footage, and the music that defined his career, the film tells the story of a man who revolutionized radio, faced personal demons, and ultimately, used his passion for music to create a lasting legacy of community, healing, and innovation.

Nat’s Note: Well, here’s another person we’re showing a film about that I just can’t help but feel a bond with. From starting a record label, owning a music & video store, DVD label, and starting a festival, there’s nothing I love more than exploring film (and sometimes music), and sharing it with other people. I’m thrilled to be showing this film about Kevin Cole, who has been sharing his love of music with listeners & readers for 50 years.
