Big Budah & Pela | 6-10 AM

How can you not love music?! My dream job has always been to be a radio personality. My love for radio started in America but intensified while living in Samoa. From comedy sketches to holiday celebrations to rugby matches, it was always through radio. Our throwback playlist on 92.5 The Beat is amazing to me. I’ve interviewed a lot of these artists and been to a lot of their concerts when they were at the top of their game.  Throughout my career in media, these throwbacks are still our generation’s favorites! I am back to resume what I started because 92.5 was the last radio station I worked at before doing TV News for 19 years. I don’t have jokes, just stories…have a Budahful day.

IT’S SO GOOD TO BE HOME!

MJ | 3 PM – 7 PM

MJ loves consuming media, and food, and taking long walks (beach not required) with his wife and dog. Music has always been a huge part of MJ’s life and he is passionate about Top 40, Alternative, and Hip-Hop genres. “My Mom used to tell me that someday I’d have a real job and wouldn’t be able to listen to the radio. I showed her!”

Telling it as it has always been MJ’s MO. As a long-time student of Pop Culture, MJ is sure to have a take on the day’s events. Aside from being a music/media expert, MJ’s interests in science and politics allow him to come to subjects from many different viewpoints. Understanding that people seek positivity, MJ knows how to put a different kind of spin on all kinds of situations. To MJ, it’s very important to be very honest, and as useful as possible to listeners
