ABOUT

“shut up & listen" began in 2016 as a weekly radio show on KCSB 91.9 FM, an independent college/community radio station in Santa Barbara, CA. It aired live every week from June 2016 - January 2019, with 2 hours of indie music, live performances from bands in the LA area, and awkward commentary from Megan.

In 2017, it evolved into a music blog that paired with the radio show— the remnants of which can be found on the “2017-2019 archive” page.

In 2018, “shut up & listen” also became a concert booking alias for DIY shows booked in California and across the country.

In 2019, Meg graduated college and “shut up & listen” had its last live radio show on KCSB FM.

Life happened.

2025. Meg posts every so often. Who knows what she’s doing but she likes to share thoughts and photos and most of all, music. Follow her on Spotify for even more playlists.

P.S. The name comes from Lilly Moscovitz’s cable TV show in the best film of all time, The Princess Diaries.
