Robert Samels
Announcer

Robert Samels happily joined the WFIU announcing team in December 2002, and began writing Ether Games in November 2003. When he is not on the air, Robert is busy pursuing his Doctorate from IU in choral conducting. He currently studies voice with Distinguished Professor Giorgio Tozzi. He is also an associate instructor of Music Theory at IU, and teaches ear-training and sight-singing to over 200 students a year.

Robert received Bachelor's degrees in Vocal Performance, Music Composition and Music History from Bowling Green State University in Ohio, and a Master's in Vocal Performance from IU.
When not in "music-mode", Robert loves to read, cook and juggle. This is his first job as an announcer, but he has grown up with public radio and has fond memories of falling asleep in the backseat of his parents' car to the dulcet tones of Garrison Keillor.
