Who's your favorite celebrity and why?
Arsenal: Nick Frost - three words: Clive, The, Monkey.
P'Nickers: I've always been a huge fan of Jon Stewart, as much as he would probably decline to being a celebrity. I just admire his rational view during these sensational times, and he always puts a smile on my face.

What's the worst part of radio work?
Arsenal: P'Nickers + Indian Food + Small Studio... oh wait, that was me!
P'Nickers: Not getting paid.

What would you rather be doing?
Arsenal: Buying fancy vacation homes like those folks on House Hunters International.

What's your favorite song?
Arsenal: Starland Vocal Band - Afternoon Delight
P'Nickers: Really? I don't think I'll ever be able to answer this question.

What's the worst thing that has happend to you on air?
Arsenal: I'm usually more concerned with what I did to myself before being on the air.
P'Nickers: There's the occasional slip up, but I can't really say that anything horrible has ever happened outside of my co-hosts gas attacks.

What's the best part of Pittsburgh?
Arsenal: So many to choose from, but I would have to go with Bloomfield. Plenty of good bars, better food and great people.
P'Nickers: I will use the generic answer and say the people. We're very generous, hard working, and some of the stuff we say and love is completely off the wall.

What well known cartoon character are you and why?
Arsenal: Frylock. He keeps it all in perspective, knows how to have a good time and he's the floating french fry box with the plan.
P'Nickers: Ralph Wiggum. Me fail English? That's unpossible!

What is your favorite food?
Arsenal: The Buffalo Wing
P'Nickers: Again, I'd have trouble pinning this one down. I love a wide variety of stuff; I'd say I'm more of a craver.

How did the show start?
Arsenal: A combination of me being bored and the station having an open slot at 1AM on Saturday mornings.
P'Nickers: Right here at WRCT about 7 years ago. We went on at 1 in the morning after The Mockster's show after we had been hanging out. I believe there was an earlier incarnation without me shortly before the current Rerewind incarnation took shape.

How long has the Rerewind been around?
Arsenal: Nearly 8 years now.
P'Nickers: In a couple of different incarnations since about 2003 I believe

Has the show always been the same format?
Arsenal: Nope, however the format you hear today is the original format for the show before P'Nickers went away to Space Camp. Mad props to JTS!
P'Nickers: Arsenal has always been part of the show, but through the years it has been this mix and match monster that it currently is, a serious (and seriously quality) dj show, and I believe there may have been another one that was Arsenal just playing 45's.

If you were stuck on a desert island (with an mp3 player and solar powered charger) and could only listen to 5 albums, what would they be?

Arsenal: A small planet somewhere in the vacinity of Betelgeuse.
P'Nickers: I hail from Pittsburgh's beautiful North Side...no seriously, parts of it are beautiful.

How and where did you meet?
Arsenal: Circles of friends, it's that whole six degrees of separation thing.
P'Nickers: Oddly enough at Arsenal lanes through a good friend.

What are your interests and hobbies?
Arsenal: Penguins hockey, flying kites, long walks on the beach and the number 6.
P'Nickers: You know, the usual, drive around, bowl, the occasional acid flashback, and of course this show.
