Magic 98‘s new Kid of the Week is two-year-old, Jack, from Lodi. He was nominated by his great aunt, Jeri, who says… “Jack is such a fun little boy! He is happy and helpful and gives the best hugs. He adores his older sister, ‘Ewa’ (Ella). He did a great job helping at his cousin’s wedding! Jack […]

I’m learning pretty quickly how welcoming Magic 98 listeners can be. For the new guy that’s special, and definitely not taken for granted! Whether it was by phone, email, Facebook, or in person I say “thank you” to the many who have said “welcome to Magic 98” to me, including Dori, Trucker Dave, Heather G, […]

Did you realize that happiness is an achievement? It’s true and I learned it on my tea tag yesterday. I’ve been drinking Yogi tea almost every day for months now because green tea is so good for you. Berry DeTox is my favorite, I don’t have to add anything to be able to drink it! […]

Pat O’Neill had some very large shoes. As in, “big shoes to fill”. I told Pat that I would try to fill them, even though I don’t believe that anybody really could. But what I promised to Pat was something that I know I can do. I promised Pat that even if I couldn’t fill his […]

I’ve had lots of people ask me how I feel about Pat O’Neill leaving Magic 98. Well. . . before even thinking about the words he said to me about a month ago, my most overwhelming feeling was pride. To do what he’s doing at this stage of his career takes guts and I’m so […]
Magic 98‘s new Kid of the Week is five-year-old, Bella, from Stoughton. She was nominated by her mom, Emily, who says… “My daughter is the happiest little girl on the planet. Everywhere we go she strives to make anyone she encounters smile by giving hugs, asking about your day, or just being silly to try and make you […]

I’m a “feelings person.” Meaning, when something feels right (or wrong), that feeling is often the only reason I need to go through with that thing (or not go through with that thing). When I look back at certain moments in my life and big decisions I made, it turns out that the initial feeling I […]

I moved to Madison in the spring of 1994. I had six years of full time radio experience under my belt and I applied to every radio station I was interested in working at when I arrived. I remember the day Pat O’Neill called me for an interview. I remember the day Pat and I […]
I am still in limbo wondering what it is going to be like without Pat being the anchor of Magic 98. From day one, he was the one who assured me when ever I screwed up it was not the end of the world, and always offered some helpful advice to get over the blunder. […]

In 1983, I applied for a job at a new radio station in Madison called Magic 98. I didn’t get the gig—not until 2008, anyway—but one guy who joined up that year was Pat O’Neill. Since then, he’s become a Madison radio institution, as you know. What you may not know is that as Magic’s […]
