Beverly (bev@wild102fm.com)
My profile? I’m 5’9, blonde that likes long walks in the rain.. oh wait.. wrong profile… besides everyone knows I’m a red-head!... Seriously, you want to know something about me.. go to the source, pick up the phone, call the studio or email me.. I’ll answer almost any question (as long as my lawyer is present).

Where am I from? WISCONSIN… technically, I was born in Minneapolis, raised in Siren, WI, where I graduated in the top twenty of my class (only 19 kids in my class… ).

Nothing really unusual in my life, sorry. I went to school at the University of MN - Twin Cities campus. I was going to teach high school.. then realized.. I really don’t like kids… so, I started going to concerts… the Met Center, First Avenue, Seventh Street Entry, Civic Center, DECC, and even the good ol’ Orpheum.. which by the way was where I caught Great White, TNT, and TWISTED SISTER…. After attending all those concerts, I figured I could do a pretty good job at producing… so off I went to Denver, Colorado. I do have a degree in Music and Video Business… but I walked into radio… literally.. I walked into a station as part of a class assignment, said that I would be in Monday, they needed my help… oh to be young and full of confidence…

My first big break? It was the weekend of my birthday. I was tossed into a studio with this very strange man. He smoked like a chimney, was in a Catholic school uniform.. Can you guess who that was??? YES!!! I got tossed into the studio with Angus Young of AC/DC. “Just interview him for a few minutes”… EXCUSE ME!! A few minutes.. my gawd, do you not know who this is??? A FEW minutes??? Anyway.. 45 minutes later, Angus left the building and Tom Keiffer, Eric Brittingham, Fred Coury, and Jeff LeBarr walked in.. those guys are better known as CINDERELLA… whom was discovered via Jon Bon Jovi.. but that’s another story… from that moment on, I knew I wanted to be in the broadcast studio and not the recording studio.. but part of me.. misses the recording studio.

From that point on, for the last nearly 20 years, I’ve worked with governors, senators, business owners, government officials, psychics, rock bands, country artists, magicians, comediennes and even a few animals.. the four legged kind.. not the two legged kind… One of my first gigs was working with Johnny Elway, of the Denver Broncos. I froze my tookas at every Bronco home game.. with seats on the fifty yard line!!!

Favorite bands? Aerosmith, Dokken, Dio, Rainbow, Ratt, CRUE, CRUE,CRUE, Queensryche, METALLICA, Def Leppard, ZZ Top, Great White, LA Guns, Mr. Big,AC/DC, Faster Pussycat, Dangerous Toys ,Rush, White Lion, TnT, Frehley’s Comet, Enuf Z’Nuf, Junkyard, Foreigner, Bon Jovi, KIX, Helix, Judas Priest, SLAYER, Britney Foxx, Jon Sykes (JellyRoll), Danger Danger, Kiss, Twisted Sister, King Kobra, SLAVE RAIDER, Living Color, Vivaldi, White Zombies, Death Angel, EZO, MAIDEN-MAIDEN-MAIDEN, BulletBoys, Autograph, Captain and Tenille, Flotsam & Jetsom, Celtic Frost, Leather Wolf, Keel, Killer Dwarfs, Sonny and Cher, Whitesnake, Pretty Boy Floyd, Ugly Kid Joe, Mr. Big, Cheap Trick, Armoured Saint, Tesla, Blue Oyster Cult, Drop Kick Murphy’s, House of Lords, .38 Special, Rick Springfield, Boston, Europe, MSG (Macauley Schenker Group), Montrose, Van Halen, Van Hagar, Sammy and the Waboritas, Circle of Power…

Sorry, where was I? Oh, yes, I like it here, very much… But I belong on KPAX (movie, duh!) Don’t ask… If you desire more information.. just ask.. geesh…

Josh Witte (witte@wild102fm.com)
Let’s see… where do I begin??? I'm originally from small town Iowa. I moved to the Twin Cities last year to attend Brown College. While at Brown I began working Promotions for KXXR. Then I moved up and began a producer position at Salem Communications. Now i'm here at WiLD 102 Radio to help get you through your work week!!!

I decided to get into radio a few years back. It’s kind of a crazy story! I always knew I wanted to work in the music industry, but I wasn’t sure where. I play guitar but let’s face it, these days a band would be too hard to get signed. So one night after a lot of searching, an internet site popped up for Brown College. I instantly remembered being a kid and taping DJ’s off the radio. (Yeah you read that right we had cassette tapes in those days!!!) But anyway I used to play the tapes back and think, wow… I wish I could be on the radio. I applied and it’s been on since then!!!

My goal in radio is to connect with and help as many people as possible. It’s amazing the healing power of music. I love how you can be having a horrible day and all the sudden a song comes on the radio and you just escape into it and all you troubles seem to wash away…

Favorite Song? Anything from Nirvana
Favorite Movie? – Singles, if you have not seen this movie you are missing out!!!
Favorite Book? – Heavier than Heaven by Charles R. Cross
Favorite Color? – Green
Most Memorable Radio Moment? – Everyday in radio is a memorable day!!!
What is your favorite quote? – “It’s better to burn out than to fade away”
What's the best concert you have ever been to? – Oddly enough it the first concert I ever went too. I saw Pearl Jam in 1997, in East Troy, WI. It was so amazing 60,000 people all feeling that same connection, that same emotion. Its because of that concert I knew music was for me.
What do you do in your free time? – In my free time I like to do all sorts of things. I love to relax and play guitar, or get out and do some fishing. Other than that i'm a movie fanatic!
What is the best part of your job? – Being able to connect with different types of people everyday. The best medicine in life is music.
Words of wisdom for the kids? – Work hard and do good, the rest will just fall into place.
