Gina Grad Joins The Woody Show
• iHeartMedia’s KYSR (ALT 98.7)/Los Angeles welcomes market veteran Gina Grad to the cast of the Premiere-syndicated The Woody Show, joining Woody, and co-hosts Greg Gory, Menace & Sebas, weekdays from 4-10am. She succeeds longtime cast member Renae Ravey, who left the show in late June.
Grad has been a prominent voice on Los Angeles radio since 2006, working on The Tim Conway Jr. Show on the former 97.1 FM KLSX, co-hosting mornings with Mark Thompson on the late KSWD (100.3 The Sound), and anchoring on iHeart News-Talk KFI AM 640, where she is still the station’s female imaging voice. Beyond broadcast radio, Grad also co-hosted The Adam Carolla Show podcast for eight years. She’s also a voiceover artist, best known for her work as “Rose” in the Street Fighter video game franchise, is a regular guest on Fox 11’s Good Day LA+, and is a stepparenting advocate and author of My Extra Mom.
Woody said, “Gina came highly recommended by many, including a Radio Hall of Famer who will (and should) remain nameless… ok, it was Mark Thompson (of Mark & Brian). I was already a fan of her work with Adam Carolla, and after meeting her when I was a guest on Adam’s show, I knew that she would be my first call if the opportunity ever presented itself. She’s a total pro and a perfect fit for The Woody Show.”
“Gina brings an incredible wealth of talent and experience,” said Lisa Worden, Program Director for ALT 98.7 and SVP of Rock & Alternative for iHeartMedia. “Combine that with her really fun, no-holds-barred attitude, and poof — we’ve found our next star to join the already all-star cast of The Woody Show. We’re all beyond excited to have Gina on board, ready to entertain LA and OC once again!”
Grad commented, “I absolutely cannot wait to join The Woody Show! The team’s shared sense of humor, raw unfiltered take on society, and unbelievable work ethic make me proud to be part of this group. Woody is an absolute genius at what he does. I’m really excited to connect with listeners through questionable jokes, unapologetic opinions, and some truly insane stories from a lifetime of acting before thinking… I’m all in!” [Photo courtesy of iHeartMedia]
