I’m one of the luckiest guys on the planet. When I was a kid listening to the radio, I thought that it was the best job in the world and decided that it’s what I wanted to do. I started working in radio at age 15 at the dumpiest little AM radio station you could imagine. It was in the suburbs of Boston and was so woefully under-staffed that everybody who worked there did every job. In retrospect it was a great experience. Along the way I’ve worked with some incredible people, picked up an award here and there, and have had more fun than anyone really should be allowed to have. To this day, I get to go to work doing the only job I ever really wanted to do. Studio Big is a very cool broadcast facility so I’m doing that job in a great place that connects me to what I consider to be the greatest radio audience in the world!

My Weekend
We joked on Friday morning about my weekend. It happens every now and again that one event slides into another and things get a little busy. I say that with a bit of a wink because let's face it, what I do isn't all that hard. Most of the time I show up, somebody hands me a microphone or clips one onto my shirt, I wait for somebody to tell me to go and I start talking...

TV Commercial With Kids [VIDEO]
So here's the deal... I have the same video monitor channels in my office as we have in Studio Big. We use them mostly to keep an eye on the world while The Morning Waking Crew broadcast is on and to be sure we don't crash into traffic reporter Rich Kirkland's TV reports.

Writers of ‘Life With Archie’ to Kill Off the Comic Book Legend This Summer
Comics and TV have been doing it for years. Bobby died in "Dallas", and he's still alive years later in the current TNT reboot of the show. Superman got the snot beat out of him and died in the comics, yet he now seems to be back to his old super-self. But Archie? Really!? They're killing him off?
