Alisha Sweeney joined Colorado Public Radio in 2011 to launch their new music discovery station, Indie 102.3 (formerly OpenAir). Her reputation and expertise with eclectic music has led Sweeney to contribute to NPR Music's "Heavy Rotation," "Songs We Love," "All Songs Considered's Year in Review," "The 200 Greatest Songs By 21st Century Women+," and she has also been a returning guest on the Here and Now "DJ Sessions," "Colorado Matters" and "Sound Opinions." Sweeney was also a television host and writer of "OpenAir Live &amp; Local" on Colorado Public Television, a partnership with CPR that went on hiatus in summer of 2019 after five seasons. Over the years she has hosted and created one-off programs for the famed WFMU in East Orange, New Jersey and ResonanceFM in London, England. She is especially drawn to storytelling and how music and geography informs an artist to gain a better understanding of their world view. Beyond radio, Sweeney spent four years as a producer at the world's first live Internet television network. While at ManiaTV! her roles included executive producer, writer, and programmer. She helped create, direct, write, and program original music, arts, and pop culture shows. Awards: Alisha has won several awards as a morning drive DJ, including being named Best Radio DJ in Denver by "Westword" multiple times, as well as by Citysearch, which also named "The Morning Show With Alisha" on Radio 1190 the Best Morning Show in Denver. She also received a "Westword" Web Award for Best TV, Podcast, or Radio Personality on Social Media. Education: Bachelor’s degrees in Journalism (Media Studies) and English (Literature), University of Colorado, Boulder.

Dana Meyers joined Indie 102.3 as a host in 2023. Professional background: Dana grew up in Boulder as a teenage music junkie and fell in love with radio at student-run KUCB (now KVCU) at the University of Colorado Boulder, where she served as music director and morning host. After relocating to the East Coast, she got her foot in the door at WHFS/Washington as a morning show intern and stayed on as a weekend/fill-in host and production director. After a format flip, she was tapped to program and host afternoons when WHFS was relaunched in Baltimore. Dana joined the inaugural on-air staff of WSFS/Miami as afternoon host, then hosted mornings at WXNX/Fort Myers before returning to Baltimore to join WZBA as a weekend/fill-in host and production director. She retired from commercial radio in 2021 and devoted time to advocacy for transgender issues. She is now thrilled to come home to Colorado and bring her love and passion for music discovery to Indie 102.3. Dana is a lifelong fan of punk rock, and her weaknesses are peanut butter and wine. She enjoys karaoke but has no singing talent, and she will not relent in her assertion that burritos are far superior to tacos. Despite being raised at the foot of the Rockies, Dana failed all of her attempts to learn how to ski, but she might give the bunny slopes another try one of these days.
