National Radio Day: Barbara Farragher
From as early as I can remember, I wanted to work on the radio.
I got my first “official“ job reading the announcements in middle school. I went on to college and majored in speech/communication and theater.
My dream job became a reality and I have loved it ever since! From meeting some of my idols to helping out in the community and everything in between, I love what I do.
My favorite saying is “do what you love, love what you do!“
Happy National Radio Day to all of the WJRZ family!
Barbara knew she was destined for airwaves when she got her first big broadcasting break: announcing the news over the loudspeaker in the middle school principal’s office. Fast forward a few (years and now she’s meeting the crushes she had way back (hellooo Rick Springfield) when she introduces them on stages big and small. Music has been a constant companion throughout her life. She and her husband have a voracious live music appetite and plan family vacations around concerts. She also frequently lends her voice to national commercials (such as Entenmanns Little Bites). She also has a spoiled rotten rescue dog named Mia, and two daughters.
