Radio Host of Too Much To Remember and When the Music Stops

Jax Resto began her journey with WKDW Radio in 2012 as co-host of talk show BudaRest Mashup. Station master RJ Malloy discovered BudaRest (Resto and then songwriting partner Bud Buckley) performing at the Coffee Loft to promote a multimedia version of Jax’s novel Too Much to Remember in which she and Buckley co-wrote and recorded songs to accompany the groundbreaking multimedia ebook novel.

Interviewing a variety of local and non-local artists, Jax insists the best part of being a talk show host was all the fascinating people she got to meet, but admits she also enjoyed the comedic banter and making up silly game shows.

In 2014, BudaRest Mashup came full circle when the very concept that had started BudaRest Mashup, as well as BudaRest in general, made it’s debut on the talk show, quickly gaining its own time slot as WKDW’ss brand new original RADIO THEATER, Too Much to Remember. With a cast of mostly Venice High School students, Too Much to Remember soon surpassed even Mashup as the most listened to show.

After Season 2 of Too Much to Remember (based on sequel novel Too Much to Forget), former circus aerialist Resto decided to shake things up with a brand new play called When the Music Stops, a circus themed story of love, loss, and finding your place in life.

With the help of the wonderful WKDW team, an open casting call welcomed over thirty enthusiastic and talented local actors of which about twenty have been cast. Like Too Much to Remember, When the Music Stops will feature great original music written by local artists. Production of Season One of When the Music Stops will begin in October 2016. Jax will also occasionally take you BACKSTAGE in a series of brief interviews to meet the actors, musicians, and members of the WKDW team, whose efforts have and continue to make WKDW’s RADIO THEATER a success.
