Johnny Rude

Weekdays | 7pm-12am

I began my career in radio when I was a senior in high school hosting a 10p-2a show on a Top 40 radio station and haven’t stopped since then. I’ve worked in Winona, MN, Milwaukee, WI, Rockford, IL, and Denver, CO before landing in Austin back in 2014. Highlights along the way have included doing shots with The Marshall Tucker Band on the side of the stage, to hanging out with Billy Idol backstage and watching Steve Stevens sit on the floor in front of a full length mirror applying his own make-up, and a strange stare off with Scott Weiland as he walked onto stage, Rock has been my life! When not working you can find me on a stool at possibly any local dive bar with a cold beer in my hand, or out on the golf course. Most likely in the bar however…

I’m psyched to be bringing my high energy and bad jokes to the nighttime on KLBJ-FM!

Joke of the Day!
