Default Quick resume tip needed

I'm putting together my references sheet for a job interview tomorrow. I have three strong professional references (two from my current job and one from a freelance gig I do at my alma mater). I have only one really good personal reference (former advisor in college). Is it better to eliminate the 'personal' and 'professional' headings from the references list, leave it with a single personal reference, or add in other personal ones?

Most of the people I would consider good personal references wouldn't really comment on my profession, or don't know me that well. For instance, I could list someone from the board of directors at the station my radio show is on, but I barely know those people. I could list friends or former employers from other fields, but why do that? I didn't want to list two people from my college as I already have one each in personal and professional, but I definitely have strong references there.

Any advice appreciated.
