Guest Host: Jordan Rich
Whether you realize it or not, you know Jordan Rich. Or at least, you know his voice. Jordan has been a ubiquitous and friendly presence as a voiceover artist featured in countless national radio and TV commercials, as well as a familiar voice on Boston airwaves since 1978, as a dynamic radio personality. For years, Jordan kept listeners company over their coffee and commute as morning drive host for such Boston stations as WRKO and WSSH-FM. For more than two decades, Jordan also hosted a late-night talk show on the legendary WBZ AM 1030.
Together with his college buddy Ken Carberry, Jordan operates Chart Productions, an audio/video production service for traditional broadcast, the Internet, and new media.
