1. How did you get into radio?

Roger Blamiere bought KUHL and asked me to do a sports talk show for him. I thought he was nuts; I didn't think I could fill an hour of airtime. I ended up doing three hours between the morning and drive time and I left TV behind.

2. What are you passionate about?

You mean besides my wreck of a golf game? I would have to say children. I know that sounds like one of those lame Miss America statements, but I'm serious. Starving kids, abused or homeless, is just plain unacceptable. I try to do whatever little part I can to help.

3. There aren't a lot of female hosts who have done sports talk; what was it like to battle established perceptions of women in sports talk? What does it take for a woman to be taken seriously talking about sports?

I found the key to breaking through the glass ceiling for a woman in sports talk was to simply know your stuff and not have a chip on your shoulder. Most of the guys I worked with were incredibly supportive, and so were all the professional athletes I covered. If they knew you weren't a bimbo, getting the break because of who you knew, you were in. The opportunities for women in talk in general are so few you can't waste time on the negatives or you shouldn't be doing it in the first place.

4. What annoys you the most about your co-host? What's the best thing about having Dave around?

The fact that he knows more about Star Trek than pop-culture. For example, he didn't know if Avril Lavigne was a man or a woman, and he has no idea who Jeff Gordon is to this day. Having said that, the best thing about Dave is that he's easy going and has a very dry sense of humor that matches mine. We both love to laugh.

5. Of what are you most proud?
Surviving in a tough business and managing to make some terrific friends along the way.

6. You've gotten to interview a lot of big names- who's been your favorits interview subject? Who was the most disappointing?
I spoke with the great Ted Williams a year before he died. We talked about hitting and timing in major league baseball and his love for fishing. I also spent time with Roger Staubach who creamed some of my favorite eagles growing up. He laughed hysterically when I told him we threw a football through a tire with his picture on it while I was growing up in Jersey.

The most disappointing interview was with Dr. J. Let's just say he has no game.

7. If you hadn't gone into this business, what do you think you'd be doing for a living right now?

I've always wanted to be a writer. Imagine having the time to let your thoughts run wild putting it on paper and getting it published. I have a novel in mind, if only there were more than 24 hours in a day.

8. If you could have anyone from history as a guest. who would it be?
I'd love to smoke a Cuban, drink a cold one, and talk baseball with the great Babe Ruth.

9. Fill in the blank: I can't make it through the day without _____________.

...LAUGHING.

10. What's the best advice you ever got? The worst?

The best advice I ever got was one so many people ignore: DON'T BURN ANY BRIDGES! YOU NEVER KNOW WHO YOU'LL MEET ON THE WAY DOWN.

The worst advice I ever got was to take a job because it would look good on the resume.
