Alligators & Bobby Vinton (Hour 1)

May 29, 2025

Maino is out recovering from a bit of surgery, so long-time Northeast Wisconsin native and broadcast journalist Connie Fellman joins Jim for this morning's show. Connie is from Shawano, lives in Green Bay and has been part of the media for many years. She started at channel 26, moved to WLUK 11, and was most recently at WFRV 5. We found out that she loves Melissa Etheridge and that Jim doesn't know who that is. (He's a huge fan of Liberace and Bobby Vinton, so we guess that makes sense.)
