Wagner’s World

I’m excited to exist between your favorite songs on Shuffle Radio. It’s not much, but it’s honest work. (Do people actually say that?)

I’m on my second stint here in Central Illinois and I couldn’t be happier. I live here with my wife, daughter, pets, and crushing self-doubt. Well, maybe it’s not crushing, but it’s not making me any taller, either.

For work, I’ve done comedy, marketing, and other talk-based jobs. For fun, I play ice hockey in the Peoria Parks & Recreation league, watch a lot of MCU content, and take long walks on the beach. 

My life is starting to sound like a pharmaceutical commercial. 

Be that as it may, I am thrilled to be talking to you. If you want to know anything more about me, just ask me at wagner@shuffleradio.com.
