JonJon is back! | Kiss 107.1 | JonJon and Friends

"JonJon...what are you doing now?!" A question I heard on a weekly basis over the past 488 days (not that I was counting :D). Yes, that's how long it's been since I last provided an afternoon laugh track for Cincinnati. My lengthy sabbatical had all the elements of family, focus, & a full realization that I was experiencing a change that so many others were also having to initiate in their own lives. As much as I wanted to try and convince myself that I was the ONLY person dealing with this drastic shift in my life & career, I soon realized that the pandemic shook up all our lives in ways we never could have imagined. Families everywhere that were/are experiencing substantial loss, financial hardship, & overall…forced change. It made it apparent to me that if we could in some way start to approach our challenges with a "WE" mindset, then WE’D realize that WE’RE not the only ones now having to “move the sand a different way in the sand box”. Everyone is feeling it. So try to see outside of your own bubble.

I say that to say this…thank you. Thank you to all my incredible friends and family members who I grew closer to over the past year and a half. Relationships are fuel. So I hope you filled up your tank too this past year. My return to radio with an idea of having a local show called “JonJon & Friends” stemmed from my new-found perspective. This time, WE (yes, you and me) will build a relationship and have a show TOGETHER. I’m just here to learn about you, tackle our challenges as friends, and to do it in the only way I know best…while laughing (obnoxiously loud) 😉.Let’s do a show, Cincinnati.

Here are some of the friends that have joined me so far…
