I must be the luckiest guy in the world to be able to captain one of the greatest rock stations in the USA! I’ve been on the Blimp for over 30 years, and no two days have ever been the same. I think that’s what gets me up at the crack of dawn. I call Blimp listeners “friends I’ve never met,” and it’s true. We share a common bond of living in Maine and a passion for Rock and Roll. It’s great to work with so many local charities and businesses as well. I'm wicked proud to represent Townsquare Media as Vice-Chair of the Board of Directors of the Maine Association of Broadcasters and as a board member of NESCom at Husson University. Thank you for all the years, and here’s to many more!

Maine Has More “Karens” Per Capita Than Just About Anywhere Else in the USA
Before I get into it, I would like to show my support to all you women named Karen out there. It used to be easy to be a Karen. I don't think I knew a Karen I didn't like. My first crush in grade school was a Karen. I am PRO-KAREN. I am on TEAM KAREN. But the whole Karen Meme thing now makes it tough to actually be named Karen. Now we discover that Maine has a plethora of Karens. Not the "let me speak to your manager" Karen. Or the " there's no way in hell I'm wearing a mask and getting vaccinated" Karen. But actual people named Karen.
