Doc Thompson grew up in a small town in Ohio called Ashtabula (translation: river of many fish.) He has a VERY large extended family located all over the country.

Doc has been fired by great radio stations all across the country. He spent most of his career in Cleveland but has also worked full-time in Lincoln, Las Vegas, and Albuquerque. He is a 5 time Marconi Award (the Academy Award of radio) winner for radio excellence.

Laughing and making people laugh are important. His medium of choice is of course radio. He dabbles in many styles with sarcasm and satire always present. Although he is candid and forthright he loves good spirited practical jokes which prompted a former co-worker to say “If only Doc would use his powers for good instead of evil.”

He enjoys theater, movies and TV. His passions also include great conversation, walking upright and good food. His palate is tempted by cheap wine and most things carne (PETA be damned) His favorite books include Atlas Shrugged and 20,000 Leagues under the Sea. His favorite movies include; Casablanca, Shawshank Redemption and Groundhog Day.

Over the past few years Doc has focused on honoring his American Birthright of Freedom by "living life to the fullest" and "becoming the best person" he can be. He is even learning to speak a second language… Korean... "AHNYOUNG!"
