On today's podcast, a blues musician from Britain, who has a voice reminiscent of the late Janis Joplin. Her latest project is an album called Fortuna. And I'm fortunate to share some of that new music with you in this episode. She's Bex Marshall, and she's Someone You Should Know.
Somehow, Rik knew he wanted to be a radio announcer from an early age. So after graduation in 1978, Rik joined the U.S. Air Force to be a Radio and TV announcer for Armed Forces Radio and TV Service (AFRTS). After 20 years, he retired from the Air Force in 1998. He retired on a Friday in August then two days later, started a new job as a host and producer for the All Star Radio Network. During his 19 years there, Rik hosted several nationally syndicated radio shows, including: "Back in the Pits with Rik Anthony" and "Someone You Should Know." Rik has thousands of celebrity interviews in his archives.
Rik retired from daily on-air radio on 1/1/23 and is focusing on his podcast and enjoying life. Rik has two grown children, Shauna and Brad.
Rik loves flying airplanes, travel, cooking, the arts and spending time with his wife, Leslie.
