John Flint

I was born John Flintoni, son of John and Bonnie Flintoni, grandson of Benjamin and Madeline Ginnini and Guisseppi and Maguerite Flintoni. We lived in suburban Chicago. My father was raised with a strict work ethic and tried to instill the same traits in his children. He did a great job. My older sister is a judge in Minnesota. My younger sister is the Vice President of Sales for a major radio company in New York. I'm a D.J. Sorry Dad. My report cards always said, "John does not work up to his potential" or "John has trouble concentrating in class." Those comments today gets a kid on prescription medication. I just got grounded a lot.

In high school I did the sports thing...did the theatre thing...did the stay home on Friday night thing. I listened to a lot of music...some good, most not.

I started college an aspiring law enforcement major. That lasted a semester. Business major--2 semesters. A friend of mine told me he was going to try and get a job at our school's radio station. I didn't even know we had a station and had always wanted to see what a radio station looked like, so I tagged along. That was it. I was destined to work every weekend, holiday and overnight for the next 2 years. But I knew I finally found a place I belonged.

I met an awesome, super-hot woman in college who decided, of all things, to marry me. I have two spectacular daughters that stop my heart multiple times every day. We live in Madison, so say "hi" when you see us.

I love food. I love really good red wine. I love the music of Stevie Ray Vaughan and Bruce Springsteen. I love the Minnesota Twins,(Sorry) Minnesota Gopher Hockey, (Again, sorry) and the Chicago Bears. (I am really, truly sorry. Please don't hate me)

I also love living and raising my children in South Central Wisconsin. I love working with Tammy Lee. I really love my job. Thank you for letting me do what I do.

Later...

Tammy Lee

I was a very creative child and my sisters and I made "radio" tapes as kids...the news, sports, even our own commercials. What I wouldn't give to find one now. My Step-Dad is in radio and I guess as much as I ran from it, I ended up coming around to the idea it was in my blood to do this. Either that, or like my Dad says, "You might as well get paid to talk since you never shut up!" That is a true story because my Dad often paid me $20 not to talk for 20 minutes. I should have kept that up - It was good money. I'm so glad to be working with my Dad and my sister Robin, aka "The Big Giant Head", our News Director which means she is her Fathers boss!!

My husband and I have 5 babies between us. Our house is very loud. With the kids already making messes on the carpet, we thought it would be fun to add pets to the mix: Our cat Star and our adopted greyhound Jolee.

I happen to be married to MacGyver. He can catch a mean Walleye, takes the kids to school, makes the BEST chicken marsala, blows up stuff in the backyard in July, fixes the car, remodels the house, scrubs the tub, helps the kids with homework, builds furniture, and designs and then makes many of my clothes! Yeah, he's a keeper.

I've worked in radio in Madison since 1992, with two years spent in Tucson AZ. I love rooting for the UW and the Packers. Especially because we have brats and lots of beer for the games. We don't care about body image at the games. That's comforting when you have to wear your "fat pants"! Plus we have brats...Did I mention that I love brats?
