These are some excerpts from my last rock show on SPIN Jordan, October 2010. 

This general rock show used to air live on Saturday nights every week on the otherwise pop-music station SPIN. We had a lot of features, like "Then and Now" and "Top 5 Songs Countdown" (taken from votes and from the Billboard Rock Charts in the U.S.) The music spanned everything from big 70's hits to the latest popular rock songs, across different genres (from punk and indie to hair bands and heavy metal (though rarely did we play screaming death metal mostly due to the rules of the station and Jordan's general radio climate. But I got to do pretty much what I wanted with this show, there weren't strict formatting rules. 

The Rock Out with Maha on SPIN Jordan

These are just a few excerpts from the last show I did with my co-host Ibrahim, on the Drive Home show from 3-7 pm every week day on SPIN Jordan. We were called the "Zoo Crew" which was a branding ploy for our team from the big SPIN honchos in Ireland (the origin of this station's franchise) and Ibrahim and I had fun with it. 

Work weeks in Jordan are Sun-Thurs, and we catered to our Arabic audience by inserting some words or phrases in Arabic between all our English speaking. 

Zoo Crew Drive Home with Maha and Ibrahim

An interview from May 2010 on the Rock Out show with Martin Mendez, the bassist, where he tells me what they were working on (at that time), what his favorite Opeth songs are, and how they'd love to come play in the Middle East. 

It was a phone-call interview so the quality isn't the best, but it was the best we could do for a station in based in Jordan.
