I’m Joining WSB Radio in Atlanta

I’m getting another ride on the radio machine!

I’ve written before about how I thought my time at KNX would be the capper of my on-air career — that I’d retire from there, as so many other great broadcast journalists had.

But it was not to be. I got caught in the churn of staff reductions in June 2025.

I stayed busy over the next year. I focused on Archer’s Line and co-hosted podcasts with Jack Messenger and my KNX colleague Charles Feldman. I started a voiceover business and anchored for Remote News Service, providing local newscasts for small- and medium-market stations across the country.

I applied for as many radio jobs as I could. But given the state of an industry that was letting far more people go than it was taking on, I didn’t have a lot of hope.

But life, like Loki, loves messing with your plans.

I awoke one morning to a message about an opportunity — and I grabbed it.

I have accepted an anchor/reporter position at 95.5 WSB Atlanta. I’ll be working with my old KNX boss, Ken Charles, beginning next month.

Whenever I’ve been laid off from somewhere, I’ve told people, “The future, as they say, is wide open.” It’s a way of saying that the routine has been disrupted and life is about to be different.

Well, now I can say that about starting something new. I’m getting another ride on the radio machine — the business that’s been a lifelong love.

The future, truly, is wide open.

There’s a lot to do, of course. I’ve been an Angeleno for 27 years. We’ve got places to sell, plans to make, and many things to figure out.

But I’m truly excited to start this brand-new chapter. Thank you, Loki. And I mean that.

What does this mean for the podcasts? They’ll be on hold until I figure out what my new routine is going to be — and until I get used to the Eastern Time Zone again.

What does this mean for Archer’s Line? There will be some changes to its focus. More about that soon. If you haven’t already subscribed, please do. Its new focus will keep you entertained and engaged, and I plan to give you your money’s worth. You’ll also be along for a chapter I didn’t expect to write.

I’d thought about writing my radio memoirs, understanding that they’d be of interest to a very small audience — if anyone. But now it looks like that will have to wait.

I’ve got some more story left.

I will make it a good one.
