Charlie

Morning Host, Monday-Friday, 6am-10am

What was your last non-radio job?
Starting in the business at 12 I haven’t had many! “Single Dad?” “Pet Parent?” Do those count? Although I did leave radio after hosting a morning show on another Boston station. It was owned by a corporate broadcasting behemoth. So before they could completely suck my soul out, I hung up my headphones, attained a Series 65 license from the SEC, and started my own financial planning firm.

How do you spend your time outside the station?
Raising two teenagers AND a Husky/Corgi puppy, kids call him a “Huggie,” so all that goes with that. I’m an avid golfer & excellent at all facets of the game except chipping and putting. Kind of a foodie and LOVE to cook. I’ve been to 49 states and 20+ countries & love to travel, fish, hike, camp, etc.

What’s your favorite Boston band, past or present?
Gotta go with BOSTON!

What was your first concert?
My classmates and I all played internal duct flutes (most people call them “recorders”) and put on the most amazing concert for our paren… OH, the first one I WENT to?! John Denver, cuz I grew up near him in Colorado.

What’s the first album you ever bought?
KISS, “Destroyer!” (Also the first album my parents made me return…)

What are some of your favorite movies?
Harry Potter – Spinal Tap – Best In Show (anything Chris Guest) –The Sting – TOO MANY to list!

What are some of your favorite TV shows, past or present?
Friends – The Office (UK then US) – Barry – Better Call Saul – The Munsters – The Brady Bunch – Stranger Things – Ab Fab – Johnny’s Tonight Show – Dateline

If you had a goofy DJ name what would it be?
Besides Charlie Wilde? I’ve always wanted to use “What’s-His-Name.” That way, if someone is asked who they like listening to but can’t quite remember… I’d have a decent shot of getting the credit.

What’s your favorite YouTube clip?
“Charlie Bit My Finger”
