GREG BROWN
Greg was named the afternoon drive personality at WZZN a few months after I interviewed him. I asked him how the new job has been going...
Greg: So far, it�s been an absolute blast being at 94.7 fm. I can�t wait to get into the station each day�I am blessed to do what I love for living! I get to work in the greatest city on the planet, playing the greatest music ever recorded and I get to see Dick Biondi every night! It doesn't get much better than that!
Ever since Mike Fowler arrived at WZZN as General Manager, he�s gotten things firing on all 8 cylinders. He continually finds ways of encouraging his staff and creating a great working environment. He�s also brought in Brant Miller for mornings which has been a great addition to our staff.
Our Program Director, Michael La Crosse, has to be one of the hardest working people I�ve ever met�and that�s been pretty inspiring. He makes a point of coming out to some of our appearances and talking with the listeners that show up�he has a desire to take them from just �listeners� to making them �fans�.
I�ve got two features that take some work preparing every day but it�s been fun doing the research�you won�t believe this Rick, but I�m now smarter than I ever have been. One feature is the Greg Brown Beatle Break at 4:35pm and the other is the Greg Brown School of Musicology at 6:35pm every day. Maybe you could take some time away from all of your book signings and listen.
