Maggie Meadows

When my parents asked me what I was going to do with my life, there was only one answer – radio. I am extremely lucky to have been in this business for just over 20 years. I started in promotions, and can still remember my first time behind the mic like it was yesterday. I was nervous, but absolutely loved it. Working at the Banana has given me the opportunity to meet so many great people, like you - and some pretty kick ass rock stars too. Some of my favorite moments include hanging in studio with Vinnie Paul, painting with Spider One from Powerman 5000, meeting Slash, getting choked by Ozzy, and even interviewing Billy Bob Thornton. Never a dull moment to say the least, and I do not take it for granted. Thank you for reading this, and for being a part of the Banana family. Cheers!

Local Facebook Group Discussion Pages – Help Or Hindrance?
I belong to a few community Facebook groups. From the Fenton Shoot The Breeze Facebook page to the Lapeer Discussion Group and other groups in between, there is never a dull moment or lack of stupidity.
Sure I understand people get some decent referrals for carpet cleaning, local doctors and dentists…
Grand Blanc Student Arrested For Having BB Gun On Campus
What in the hell was this kid thinking? Two things come to my mind about a student having a BB gun in a car on school grounds, first of all stupidity and second of all my parents would have grounded me for life.
