I wanted to call your attention to some OTHER WJPZ Alumni who are doing great podcasts. In fact, we’ve got a little something for everyone. Today, in part 1, I’m going to introduce you to three podcasts hosted by WJPZ Alumni.
There’s no bigger star in the world right now than Taylor Swift – and you’d be hard pressed to find a bigger Swiftie than Molly Nelson, class of 2014. She and her best friend Ryan co-host “Hits Different,” a podcast devoted to all things Taylor, from news to theories, and many other Swiftie rabbit holes. It’s edited and produced by Molly’s husband who she met at WJPZ, Alex Brewer from the Class of 2012.
From America’s sweetheart to America’s pastime and the class of 2015’s Jeff Kurkjian. Jeff grew up with baseball, thanks in large part to his reporter father, ESPN’s Tim Kurkjian. If you love baseball, you’ll love this show, co=hosted by father and son, featuring Tim’s encylopedic knowledge, Jeff’s quick wit, and some great guests.
Finally, we turn to one of WJPZ’s “OG’s” in the world of podcasting. Stacey Simms, Class of 93. Over 8 years ago, she began hosting Diabetes Connections, a podcast dedicated to providing news and information to those with Type 1 Diabetes. She’s just launched “Diabetes Connections, Type 2” – dedicated to superserving those individuals with Type 2. It’s easy to hear her WJPZ and news chops as she tells you about the show.
Now these folks aren’t the only WJPZ alumni doing great podcasts. We’ve got more to tell you about in the spaces of true crime, comedy, and more. And if you or a WJPZ Alum you know has a podcast – be sure to let me know.
