ABOUT ERIC

 

What’s happening! My name is Eric Santos I am from California and I am currently an on-air talent for Rockcast Radio! I have a weekend show called Slammin’ Weekend where I talk about upcoming albums, new singles, keeping you updated in the world of boxing, mma, and pro wrestling! The name Slammin’ Weekend was inspired from my old radio show a few years back and my love for combat sports and metal music!

During my free time, I love to go out to the gym, ride my bike, reading comic books, playing video games, take care of my animals and listening to music. I also stream video games on twitch so if you ever want to check out my channel let me know! I look forward to rocking out with you every weekend!
