Carlos Benjamin
Program HostCarlos Benjamin is the Friday host of The Blend and a rotating host of Rhythm and Roots on Sundays. Carlos has hosted numerous performers for interviews and live on-air performances at WDIY. His radio experience pre-dates the station however, covering the explosive '80s music scene. He created and produced WDIY’s Culture Calendar for 10 years and continues to be plugged into the regional live music scene, extending that experience beyond the Lehigh Valley, most recently in Austin, Texas.
Carlos also hosts Lehigh Valley Arts Salon each year to cover Musikfest, the largest free music festival in the country and The Philadelphia Film Festival, one of the largest film festivals in the northeast.
