Legendary radio personality Jo Maeder 'The Rock and Roll Madame', talks radio, writing books and why auctioneering should be your next side hustle

We are talkin' radio today with the entertaining radio personality Jo Maeder, also known to fans everywhere as 'The Rock and Roll Madame' (as in 'Up and at 'em with the Madame'). We start with the story behind her gigs at South Florida radio stations like Y100/Miami' (the 'Y-onic Woman'); and as the Madame at I-95/WINZ; plus working in New York at K-ROCK/WXRK with Howard Stern and Z100/WHTZ.  Never one to stay idle while busy in the broadcasting booth, Jo describes it all - from the real reason why she got her MBA at Columbia to essay writing for the New York Times; all while writing several books. Hustle baby! Her novel 'The Naked DJ', is a fictional (well, kinda!) story of her days in the crazy radio biz. Later hear Jo discuss her enjoyable side hustle as an Auctioneer - perfect gig she says, for broadcasters. Bring your love of all things audio and listen in.
