Riley Harrington

Hi this is James Riley, I am back at KOOL as your afternoon DJ.. I was born and raised in Armour SD, and went to Southeast Techincal College for Digital Media Production hoping to make it in the commercial filming business. I started my radio career with KOOL back in 2017. This opportunity was the first one to come along post graduation, and I started as a part time board op for football. I have been active in the community of Mitchell serving the Mitchell Area Community Theatre, both on stage and behind the curtain. In my free time I enjoy spending time with (Borat voice) my WHIFE , lifting weights, and enjoying nature. Music has always been a big part of my life, and this job has given me many opportunities to flex that muscle. My favorite artists include David Byrne, The Beastie Boys, and Jimmy Pop.
