That uniqueness is a big part of why Nisser likes her job so much.
"There's a huge amount of people that come through here," she said. "Everyone has a different viewpoint and different taste in music and different style. I definitely like the change. There's nothing stagnant in what we do."
Most of what they do is music. Other than the new programs Democracy Now, Free Speech Radio News, and a one-day-a-week, half hour locally produced community news program, KWVA is all music.
Strangely perhaps, given her position, Nisser's musical taste seems undefined. She says she likes 80s music: the Eurythmics, Fine Young Cannibals, that sort of thing.
"Usually I just grab a CD off the shelf," she said.
There are hundreds, maybe thousands of CDs lining the walls of the tiny station. Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad, she said.
"There's always something new," she said. "It's always changing. It's a fast-paced environment."
