Local News from our sister station WBRN AM

Paul Matthews

Paul has been in radio on and off (we blame that on A.D.D.) since 1982 and actually worked with Brian Goodenow for 2 ½ years when they were both in Cadillac in the late 80’s! In fact, he helped celebrate Brian’s 21st birthday by drinking beer out of Brian’s wifes shoe on the dance floor! (Long story!) He was also kicked off of every radio station in Sault Ste Marie! (Ah,memories!) 

Nickname: Stubs (don’t ask)

Shift: Weekdays 10am-3pm

Martial: Married w/3 kids & Rico the wonder dog

Originally from: Sault Ste Marie, but I’m twice removed so don’t bother me with that Yooper stuff!

Hobbies: Sunset beach walking with Supermodels. (hey no one ever said it had to be something I regularly do!)

Beverage of Choice: It depends, are my kids reading this? If so, Orange juice. If not, Captains and Diet Coke (I’m ok with a double standard)

Favorite Food: Most anything Italian

How did you get started in Radio? For Government day in High School we were able to take over the town, I wanted something where I wouldn’t have to do too much real work. Thus a career was born.

What are your most memorable concert experiences? My first (and probably still favorite) was seeing Chicago at the Castle back in 79! (wow did I ever date myself on that) Would have loved to have seen Luther Vandross before he died. Someone told me that I saw Journey at Joe Louis Arena once!

What are the favorite CD’s in your collection: I’m really all over the place on this: James Taylor, Luther Vandross, Def Leppard, Christina Aguilerra (Come on she’s hot!) Train, Goo Goo Dolls

What CD’s are you embarrassed to admit you own? Barry Manilow live (remember I’m old!)

What hidden talent do you have outside of radio: I sing a lot. Even outside of the shower!

If you could hang out for a day with anyone in the world, living or dead, who would it be? My Grandfather. I really want to know what WWII was through his eyes!
