Where you in radio before WAPJ?
“I’m a longtime radio listener. I grew up on Long Island in the 70s and 80s, so I heard lots of great radio on AM and FM. As a teenager, I listened to WLIR 92.7 constantly, hence my love of New Wave. In college, I auditioned at the radio station on campus but failed to make the cut. I nursed a grudge for 35 years until I passed my audition at WAPJ! My first show on WAPJ was “Don’t Touch My Stuff” which I hosted often with my daughter.”
