Mary Jo
Monday – Thursday: 5pm-10pm
Friday: 5pm-12am
Sunday: 4pm-9pm
Mary Jo takes over your afternoons Monday through Friday, 3pm to 7pm — and if you ask her to describe herself in three words, she’ll tell you she’s “Short” and a “Smart Ass,” which technically counts as three words, so the math checks out.
She never actually bought her first album… because LimeWire existed. If your parents’ computer contracted 47 viruses in 2006, she apologizes (kind of). These days, she’s redeemed herself with a respectable vinyl collection, so the universe is balanced.
Her first concert was N’SYNC at age 12, and she’s convinced Joey Fatone winked at her — and honestly? We believe her. But it was Green Day that officially hooked her on rock. Billie Joe Armstrong remains her eternal “hear me out,” and she’s not taking questions at this time.
Right now she’s deep into 3Teeth, the industrial rock band she insists everyone should be obsessed with. And when it comes to timeless rock anthems, she’ll never turn down Crazy Train. Call her basic if you want—she’ll take the insult and raise you a hair flip.
If she could interview anyone, she’s picking Ozzy, because no one has survived more chaos, weirdness, and story material than the Prince of Darkness. She’s not saying the interview would go off the rails… but she’s also not saying it wouldn’t.
On-air, Mary Jo survives solely on Taco Bell and Baja Blast, which at this point might actually be her blood type. Off-air? She quite literally joins the circus — aerial arts and fire spinning, because walking the line between “cool” and “mildly dangerous” is her brand.
Her guilty pleasure? Taylor Swift. Not even guilty about it. She’ll defend Dr. Taylor Allison Swift’s genius with the same energy she walks down the hallway — which, despite her height, is apparently very loud and very purposeful.
If she weren’t in radio, she’d still be doing something cool, chaotic, or creative. Radio taught her skills she can use anywhere, and she actually means that — despite also joking about it 97% of the time.
Her favorite local hangout? Downtown Music Hall, supporting local artists… or her couch, supporting absolutely nothing except her and her sweatpants.
She lives by one simple motto — straight from Yoda himself:
“Do or do not. There is no try.”
