Skratch N Sniff

Allison Hagendorf & Chris Cantore Join Skratch ‘N Sniff Radio

September 5th, 2024

The weekly syndicated rock mix show Skratch ‘N Sniff has grown by two. 

Allison Hagendorf will join on-air host Malcolm Ryder on the two-hour show, which is syndicated on over 55 stations across the Alternative and Active Rock formats.

SoCal alt-radio vet Chris Cantore will also join as producer. 

Ryker’s experience as Creative Director at Alt 98.7 in Los Angeles and Senior Creative Director for Rock and Alternative at iHeartMedia has made Skratch ‘N Sniff a go-to show for Rock and Alternative listeners. 

Last year, Allison launched The Allison Hagendorf Show, a weekly video podcast series. She is the former Global Head of Rock at Spotify and host/executive producer of the Spotify Original Series Rock This with Allison Hagendorf. Across her nearly 25-year career, Hagendorf has interviewed the likes of Keanu Reeves, Motley Crue, Foo Fighters, Miley Cyrus, Blink-182, and mgk, among many others. 

Cantore is an award-winning morning radio host who has been heard on San Diego’s 91X (where Skratch ‘N Sniff debuted in 2003), FM949, and 100.7 KFMB over the years. 

Skratch ‘N Sniff was built around playing great music and not worrying about if it fits into a certain format,” Ryker said in a press release. “Fans aren’t confined to musical genres; we blend everything from classic rock to modern metal, from ’80s electro to hip-hop. Skratch ‘N Sniff brings back the unpredictability to radio that’s been missing since it started becoming pre-programmed by corporate America.”
