VOICEY IDAHO FULL
By the time you get to listen to my show, most of you have already worked a full day. I don’t hold any degrees, nor do I possess the secret to life. Either way, I will treat you with the utmost respect as long as you return the gesture. You may agree with me on some things, and disagree with me on others. My views on life are mine, yours are yours. I do not claim to be a part of any political party. I also served as a fill in host in San Antonio and in Atlanta. It was in Nashville, where my ability to host a talk show was born. I made my way across the south from Cleveland going to WLAC in Nashville. Later I worked at, a rock station, a top 40 station, and an adult contemporary station, before settling at WTAM, a news/talk station. I started at an oldies station in Cleveland. Went to college to be a physical therapist and somehow got diverted onto the wonderful vocation of radio. My mom is a former Catholic nun of German and French descent and my dad of Russian and Irish descent is Jewish.
