About: Jim McGuinn joined the Current in January 2009 as Program Director and on-air host, moving to the Twin Cities from Philadelphia, and WXPN. From seeing the Clash for his first concert, Jim has been hooked on rock and roll -- and whether it was radio programming, playing bass, or even teaching university level courses like Rock and Roll Cinema and Radio History.
