Lynne is the newest member of the DownUnder UpOver crew.

Upon reaching adulthood, Lynne did the uni thing for a stretch and managed to acquire a Commerce degree from the University of Manitoba. Wanting to avoid the workplace, she decided to grab a backpack and venture beyond the confines of North America. Having met heaps of really cool Aussies and Kiwis traveling through Europe, Lynne figured something pretty exciting must be going on in the Southern Hemisphere, so she used a free flight coupon to spend 3 months in New Zealand and a year in Oz. It was during that time she really got into the music there (thanks Triple J!).

With her (forced) return to Canada (damn those expiring visas), Lynne found out about DownUnder UpOver and tracked down Gene like an obsessed fan, demanding to become a part of his show. Gene, scared for his life, relented and Lynne Skromeda has been co-hosting DownUnder UpOver since early February 2000.

Lynne has since made 2 more trips to Oz to visit friends and get more music for the show, so be sure to tune in every week to see what comes up next!

Likes (apart from the obvious stuff): vegetarian food (especially spicy stuff), The Powerpuff Girls, Emily the Strange, hiking anywhere her two legs can get her, documentaries, dictionaries, beer, beer and beer.

Dislikes: mean people, black licorice, sleeping
