WTOP Director of News and Programming, Julia Ziegler, also shared her thoughts on the new morning team, commenting, “Michelle and John bring years of experience and incredible news judgment to mornings. They are both so excited to bring their passion for news to morning drive. Our listeners are in good hands with John and Michelle.”
