AJ’s Gone For The Rest of the Week – Meet Her Fill-In, Brad King

It'll be the "Battle of the Booming Voices" for the rest of the week, ladies and gents.

AJ and our son are headed up to the UP to do some socially-distant hiking for a few days. Normally, I wouldn't mind being by myself. However, 2020 has been a lonely year and I'm thrilled to be welcoming one of my best friends to the Pat and AJ morning extravaganza.

This is Brad King.

Brad and I met at Columbia College in Chicago in 1996. We were both radio majors; besides bonding around the college radio station, we created a pretty great group of guy friends that continues to this day.

His radio career took him to Rockford, IL, Kansas City, and now South Bend, IN. He's a country music aficionado; name a country music star and he's met them. Through country radio, he's been active with the St. Jude Radiothon for years, raising money for the hospital in Tennessee. He's also a baseball fanatic and a Tom Petty superfan.

Brad is a proud husband and father of a six-year-old boy and has strong ties to the mitten state; his wife is a Michigan native from the west side of the state and he spends a lot of time in the Big Rapids area, visiting family and making sure his son gets a regular dose of Pure Michigan.

I wasn't going to say anything; thought I'd bring him on the air and introduce him as AJ until somebody calls it out. *just kidding* Looking forward to bringing him on the air for the next few days!
