Fish with Friends
Fish has spent much of his life doing what he loves most: talking to people, telling stories, making people laugh, and sharing great music.
His radio journey has taken him through some pretty amazing places, including Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, and Wisconsin. But Madison, Wisconsin, became much more than another stop along the way. It became home.
Along the way, Fish has built lifelong friendships, worked alongside some incredibly talented people, and had the opportunity to be part of the radio stations and communities that helped shape his career. For Fish, radio has never simply been about being behind a microphone. It’s about the connection—the feeling that when you turn on the radio, there’s a real person on the other side talking with you, laughing with you, and sharing a little piece of their day.
That philosophy is at the heart of everything Fish does.
Whether he’s talking about music, interviewing a fascinating guest, sharing a ridiculous story, or simply having a conversation with a listener, Fish brings an authentic, unfiltered personality to the microphone. He believes the best radio doesn’t feel like a performance—it feels like hanging out with an old friend.
And then there’s Freddie.
Fish’s dog, Freddie, was an re-home and has become a pretty important member of the family—and, according to Fish, an unofficial member of the radio team. The two have spent years cranking country music, bouncing around the house, and apparently developing some very strong opinions about what makes good radio.
Fish is passionate about country music, storytelling, people, and the communities he’s lucky enough to be part of. He also believes that some of the best conversations happen when you’re not quite sure where they’re going to end up.
After all, you never know who you’re going to meet, what story you’re going to hear, or what song is going to become the soundtrack to your day.
That’s what keeps Fish coming back to the microphone.
Because to him, radio isn’t just a job.
It’s home.

The Cast

When Fish’s Mum was 17 she moved to America from England and met his father. When Fish was 23 he was in College and met the person that would be his mentor and on air partner (off and on) till she passed in 2021. The idea of a career where you can make people smile and laugh while helping others has been a dream for him. With such accolades as “Award Winning Photographer”, “Fastest Arby’s Sandwich Wrapper” and “Youngest Ever Lead In A High School Play” entertaining others every morning with his friends is just a natural fit. Fish was never fortunate enough to have any children but did have the opportunity to try and convince Hilary Clinton and her daughter (who was single at the time) to stop by and have some of his “Mum’s Famous Prego Spaghetti”.

Raised on a 400-acre dairy farm in rural Iowa, country girl Elizabeth Mary is the perfect example of a busy mom. Not only is she one of Fish’s favorite friends, she is an accomplished country songstress, children’s book author, mother and wife. She is known to enjoy a glass or two or three of wine after a long day. As a full-time, musician since 2018, Elizabeth Mary fills her schedule playing over 170+ shows yearly. Other than making appearances at some of your favorite bars on Broadway in Nashville, she has opened for legendary country artists including Jordan Davis, Clint Black, Priscilla Block and Post Malone just to name a few. She likes a Corona with 2 limes with her Taco Tuesday.

Jennifer Stephens has a journalism background and education. She started out early, preferring newspapers to Barbies as a child. A veteran of CBS and ABC radio news her passion is current events. Other interests include; Coke, Starbucks, Hello Kitty, candy, Hallmark movies, recycling/up-cycling, cooking and cute, fluffy animals, nothing cold- blooded or slimy. Clearly not fan of the Oxford comma. Turn-offs include walking or doing things. Her ex-husband has been living in her house-- 'temporarily'. She and Fish have been friends for years now and she throughly enjoys trying to get him to read books with BIG WORDS

Jake and Fish met many ago when Fish was looking for a Trainer. They became “Brothers” right away. Jake has Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training for the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh and has been a certified personal trainer for many years. Proud husband of Julie “The Wife” and father to two incredible daughters, one of Jake’s passions is cooking healthy and fun meals for his family. He started in the food service industry when he was 14 and has gained tons of knowledge at wide variety of restaurants. Other then big belt buckles Jake truly enjoys sharing tips on affordably cooking for your family as well helping people get in shape.

Traci was born and raised in the Deep South listening to country music. She met Fish early on in her career and they became fast friends. For well over 12 years now Traci has lived and breathed the culture of Country Music and Nashville. She has told Dustin Lunch she would eat pudding out of his dimples, he is most likely afraid of her at this point. She is in a very secret relationship with Riley Green, so secret he isn’t even aware. She is known to try and play the “Air Piano” and can’t drink out of glass without a straw cause “my mawmaw gave me a sippy cup until I was two…so I’m used to sucking not drinking like a grown adult”.

Cailynn and Fish have been friends for years now. She has an intense love for Social Media as well as a massive attraction to Nashville. Fashion has always been a true love of hers since day one. Born and raised near Madison, Wisconsin her parents separated when she was younger so she grew up half city girl/half farm girl. Her love of fashion is apparent by her over flowing closet and over whelmed significant other (Mitch is crazy about her but there is no way he has room for his close in their home). Cailynn pulls no punches and has a love for picking on Fish and his massive wardrobe of black hoodies and t-shirts.
Stacey and Fish met when she got frustrated that he almost took her parking spot. Always a lover of cars and driving her first car was a $300 Monte Carlo that her parents bought her. A graduate of Glassboro State College, Stacey knew it was her kind of school when she saw posters that said,"It's there, it's cheap, and you're never too stupid". Married over 20 years to someone that she describes as "The Right Guy", Stacey has two sons and a love for Traffic patterns and concerts.
Born and raised in Wisconsin, Ebo has a strong passion for the cheesehead culture. Packers, Badgers, Brewers, Bucks, good fish fry, and an Old Fashioned. Ebo’s Over The Line can be heard throughout the state of Wisconsin and he can be seen working out at gyms throughout as well. With a strong desire to be helalthy and enjoy life, Ebo and Fish have known each other for sometime and Ebo ONCE even saw Fish at a gym. Ebo and his wife travel when they can and he very much enjoys posting photos of his cats (Gizmo and Buddha) or his “Gun Show” (that would be flexing not actual guns). When it comes to his show he has been known to say “Sometimes the facts may be optional, but the takes are strong, and cult figures are born.”
