MEET THE DJ’S



Here are the people who will walk you through it all.

1/4


 * JOSH HOOPER
   
   Morning Show
   
   
   
   
   Josh and his wife, Jennifer, are the proud parents of four kids (and the teen
   years are everything they’ve been warned about!!!). Josh loves shooting
   baskets with the boys, watching his Cleveland sports teams, and watching
   sci-fi and adventure movies with the whole crew. He and his wife and daughter
   have a strong affinity for good coffee, too! Josh isn’t much for large crowds
   or loud, busy places, so he likes to keep his introverted-self at home or in
   situations where he’s with his closest friends and family, or even just on
   his own. And when he isn’t spending time with you on the morning show or
   enjoying his family, Josh is probably playing fetch with their puppy, Ollie,
   or rubbing his belly. Um, the dog’s belly, not his own. #yikes
   


 * CHAD BRADLEY
   
   Morning Show
   
   
   
   
   Chad went to college for youth ministry and theology but ended up graduating
   with a degree in Broadcasting. Along with his love for Christian Radio, he
   also loves his wife and kids! Honorable mentions of his favorite things are
   hand tossed pizza, a good cup of coffee, stand-up comedy and hanging out at
   any sporting event with friends and family! Even though he was concerned
   about losing cool points when they got their minivan, sto-n-go storage was a
   game changer for him. It's the cargo shorts of vehicles!
   


 * HANNAH
   
   Morning Show
   
   
   
   
   Hannah is a self-proclaimed whirlwind. She thrives off of being on the go and
   changing things up! When things get to “normal” she rearranges her living
   room furniture for the 428th time or buys an impromptu plane ticket. The few
   things that make her want to slow down are playing with her pup and hanging
   out with her goofball nieces and nephew. If you’re trying to track her down
   best places to start are the volleyball court, bible study or any local
   restaurant…but truly, ya’ never where she might end up!
   


 * JOE CHEESMAN
   
   Middays 10a - 3p
   
   
   
   
   Joe grew up in South Dakota and had a family that was heavily involved in the
   media industry in Sioux Falls. After graduating high school in 2007, Joe went
   to college at the University of Northwestern, St. Paul and majored in
   Electronic Media with an emphasis in Audio Production and minored in Biblical
   Studies while also playing on the baseball team and serving as a guitar
   player for many on campus worship teams. After college he began his radio
   journey, which has brought him through Sioux Falls, Fargo, Orlando, Kansas
   City, and now Columbus. Joe is very passionate about sports and music. He
   still plays amateur baseball and is working on a bucket list goal of
   attending a MLB game in all 30 stadiums (while rooting for his beloved
   Philadelphia Phillies). Joe plays guitar, but more recently, decided to build
   one from a block of wood he got at a warehouse. He can also be found anywhere
   live music is and if the Newsboys are within a 4-hour radius chances are Joe
   is at that show.
   


 * HAILEY REID
   
   Afternoon Show
   
   
   
   
   As an Enneagram 1, Hailey is always looking to improve every room she enters.
   She’s a rule-follower, but in a fun way (at least she thinks so.) She loves
   to be outdoors, which is kind of a pre-requisite for being married to a park
   ranger. Hailey loves to get out and hike with her dog and best bud, Trout,
   who she’s only slightly obsessed with. Hailey considers herself a health nut,
   which makes her one of those weird people who actually enjoys working out.
   She loves to cook up healthy meals at home, but don’t be fooled…she’s always
   down for some pizza and ice cream. Like Rory Gilmore, she keeps a book with
   her at all times and gets a little rush every time she steps into a library
   or bookstore. Hailey’s been called a perfectionist, and while she can’t
   disagree, she’ll be the first to tell you that she is FAR from perfect. She’s
   learning to lean into God’s grace and is so thankful that even when she
   doesn’t get it “right,” God still loves her the same. And she wants you to
   know that’s true for you, too!
   


 * JACE EVANS
   
   Afternoon Show
   
   
   
   
   You know those wild extroverts who just can’t get enough of people?
   Yeahhhhhh. That’s not Jace.
   
   
   
   Jace is an introvert who would rather be at home than in a crowd.
   But he also knows we were created to need other people. So he’s working on
   it.
   
   Despite living in Columbus – and loving it! - Jace is a Michigan Man. His
   passion for college football led him to start The Rivalry Podcast with one of
   his closest Buckeye friends (You can subscribe here!)
   
   Jace firmly believes sarcasm is the lost love language. But behind all that
   wittiness, Jace is a deep-thinker.
   He holds an M.A. in Theology from Fuller Theological Seminary and loves
   burying his nose in a book.
   
   When he’s not on the radio, you can find him being a coffee snob, watching
   sports, or spending time with his wife (Lyndsey) and their boys (Malachi and
   Titus).
   
   


 * SHANNON
   
   Overnights 12am - 5am
   
   
   
   
   Shannon loves adventures so much, she wishes it could be her middle name. She
   is very spontaneous, energetic, but being a homebody is nice sometimes. Being
   goofy is her first nature, not her second. Learning new things (and actually,
   everything) like taking up coding, knitting, baking yumminess, playing new
   video games, building projects…the list goes on for miles. But investing in
   people, giving them oodles of gifts, and loving life alongside others; that’s
   what she lives for.
   Shannon is originally from Atlanta, but recently moved to Ohio! (she’d love
   to be your friend!) Here’s the weird thing though…she likes the cold and can
   tolerate it very well (way too well). She’s getting the snow she never got as
   a kid, and loves every bit of it!
   


 * OBADIAH HAYBIN
   
   REnew | Sundays 7am - Noon
   
   
   
   
   Obadiah has been doing radio in Columbus for more than 20 years but wants you
   to remember that age and maturity do not go hand in hand. When he’s not on
   the air, he’s doing adult things like being a husband, father, and working as
   a Creative Director at a local church or he’s indulging his inner-child in
   video games, movies, and graphic novels. He also goes to the gym a lot but
   you’ll never be able to tell by looking at him.
   


 * GREG MURRAY
   
   Sundays | Noon - 4pm
   
   
   
   
   Greg can tell you to the day…ANY day, how long he’s been married to his
   awesome wife Julie. They have two sons, Wesley and Cooper. Greg’s known for
   Friday night homemade pizza night as well as being pretty handy around the
   house when he has the time. You may have also heard Greg’s voice at
   Nationwide arena, where he’s been the Public Address announcer (AKA the
   “Jackets on the powerplay!!!” guy) for the Columbus Blue Jackets since they
   came to Columbus in 2000-he’s never missed a Blue Jackets home game.
   


 * LAURALEE
   
   Sundays | 8pm - Midnight
   
   
   
   
   LauraLee lives with her husband Bill, three sons, and one dog. A theater and
   track/cross-country mom, she’s either helping with the show, in the audience,
   or on the sidelines. She likes to thinks she’s crafty, but many projects end
   in Pinterest fails. She likes to bike, walk, read, journal, knit, scrapbook,
   bake, and let’s be honest: Facebook a bit too much. With one kid in college,
   another finishing high school, and a third in middle school, the last 20
   years are summed up in this quote: The days are long, but the years are
   short. And boy, are they. Hug them lots before you blink and they are on to
   the next season.
   


 * BRANT HANSEN
   
   The Brant Hansen Show
   
   
   
   
   Brant Hansen is a toast-obsessed nerd who, when in high school, was no less
   than PRESIDENT of the Illinois Student Librarians Association. He was also
   All-Conference in “Scholastic Bowl”, and lettered in basketball and football
   (both for keeping statistics) and was President of his own Stamp Collection
   Club, which consisted of himself. Brant spends his free time looking
   inappropriately intense. (He can’t help it.) He’s also a husband and dad, and
   he’s won multiple awards for his radio hosting skills. He hosts The Brant
   Hansen Show with his producer Sherri.
   


 * SHERRI LYNN
   
   The Brant Hansen Show
   
   
   
   
   Sherri Lynn has been a broadcast professional and stand-up comedienne for
   over a decade. (So yes, you’ll laugh.) Sherri is also a writer and director.
   She recently produced and released a comedy DVD entitled “The Very Funny
   Church Comedy Show: Together We Laugh.” Sherri also wrote, directed, and
   starred in a stage play about race in the church. “The Bold and the
   Sanctified“ showed in various cities, sold out multiple performances, and
   starred American Idol winner Ruben Studdard.
