Roger: I went to Connecticut School of Broadcasting in their first high school class to see if I should go to college for it...one week into it, I knew; I had "the fever." Loved every minute of it, went to Long Island University/CWPost for 4 year degree.
JP: I loved the music. I have ZERO musical talent so being a rock star was out of the question. I figured working in radio was the next best thing. I got lucky and got a job at the station I grew up listening to. I literally had the WBAB bumper stickers in my lockers.
