SCROLL DOWN for JAY's BIO -
I was born in St. Louis and grew up here, Minneapolis and San Jose, California...a multi-city childhood that prepared me well for the rock band-style, gypsy touring life that is a career in radio.
It's been a blast seeing America by working and living in all quadrants of the USA - I've been to 46 of our states and seen a lot of our amazing country, living and working in places like San Jose/San Francisco, Minneapolis, Seattle, Milwaukee, Norfolk/Virginia Beach, Springfield, IL, Dallas and Charleston, SC. I previously worked in St. Louis radio from 1995-97 when KSD was classic rock - (I think they play Polkas of the Antarctic now).
I came back to StL for good in 2006 to take care of family matters and have been with THE ARCH since June of 2007. It is the most perfect music station I have ever worked for, allowing me to indulge my rawk side as much as my love for pop music. It's my passion to bring all kinds of music to you and to dig around for the fun facts and stories behind the tunes and the people who make them.
I'm really lucky to be on TEAM ARCH, and I really appreciate that YOU listen. Thanks!

A strange call came in to the Arch during today’s morning show as I was filling in for Van – the caller wanted to know what the story was on a guy who was pushing/rolling a large ball…a large Planet Earth. I aired the call pondering whether it was a prank or a protest of some sort and it turned out to be this:
WORLDGUY!
Worldguy is one Mr. Erik Bendl, who is walking cross-country to raise awareness about diabetes. He apparently does about 5-10 miles a day and has lots of stories to tell about his journey and the places he sees and the people he meets. You can read his blog with postings he creates from his cell phone while on the road - his website is HERE. It's not too hard to remember if you want ot pass it on to friends - www.worldguy.org!
Special thanks to Arch listener and veterinarian extraordinaire Marcy Hammerle (www.ThePetDoctorInc.com) who gave me the scoop on Worldguy’s identity and efforts!
