About Andy F
I am a music junkie with a longtime love of radio. I worked at stations on the West Coast, then spent some time at the Chicago Tribune and elsewhere. Did I mention music is my passion? I'm am always looking for that new local artist and love suggestions. Other interests include travel, the outdoors, our struggling Chicago sports teams and living in North Center, Chicago. CHIRP volunteers and listeners are the VERY BEST! It's great getting to know people who care about the station and local arts community.
