About the Hosts
Jesse Hudgins
Jesse is a senior who enjoys writing stories, creating music, and just having a good time in total. He wants to make a career out of being a musician, writing stories, or being a music journalist. He has been to many concerts in his life crowd surfing and moshing every chance he gets. He is the co-host of Roommate Reviews, Alternage, and Local Chaos. Some of his favorite bands include Blink 182, Descendents, Modern Baseball, and Box Car Racer. Jesse’s been going to concerts for a long time, and the first time he tried crowd surfing, he was dropped on his back at an Alkaline Trio and Bad Religion concert.
Chloe Kallberg
Chloe is a senior majoring in writing. She’s been a co-host of Alternage since its inception in February of 2021, and enjoys studying punk, pop punk, emo, and alternative rock music- especially the punk scene in East Bay, California.
