Rika Hudson invites you to hitch a ride on the Jazz Express every Saturday from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m.  when she will take you on a ride through the magical land of mainstream and contemporary jazz.  You are sure to find some music that will make you pat your feet and maybe do a little jig. In addition to being a DJ for the station, Hudson is WUMR’s and the Communication Department Administrative Assistant helping to coordinate our bi-yearly radiothons and Jazz in June concert.

Hudson started in June 2011 and says that "it’s been a blast." She is new to jazz but is rapidly learning about the format. Hudson has completed her Bachelor's and Master's degrees both in Spanish from the University of Memphis.
