Hot Take:

From the deep sea to Deep Purple, Ramberto Torruella has made a career jump that would leave even the most hardened submarine sonar operator in shock. Swapping his naval uniform for a pair of headphones, Torruella has bobbed up in Seattle's KEXP radio station as its newest techno-wizard-in-chief. Imagine going from defending the nation's cyber borders to defending the airwaves from bad music. Now that's what I call a sea change!
