Joe Sweeny's radio career started early for him. He was just 10 years old when he took requests from neighbors and spun records at his front porch window. Joe quickly learned the rules of programming music and the art of playing one record into another record with just one turntable. Joe became a dedicated listener to radio and then a DJ on WLHS at Lakewood High School in Northeast Ohio. In college, Joe joined WFSE-FM before moving on to Kent State's WKSR where he served as Music Director from 1990-1993. While attending Cleveland State University, Joe served on the staff at WCSB where he received a degree in Radio Broadcasting and did radio shows from 1993 to 2007. Joe's professional career started at Cleveland's WERE 1300 AM from 1997 to 2001, and moved from Board Operator to Production Director. Joe's other stops would include Salem Broadcasting where he served as Program Director at WHK 1420 AM and Operations Manager of a four station cluster. In 2013 to 2015, Joe became Production and Imaging Director at Cleveland's 92.3 FM The Fan. Soon, Joe returned to Salem Broadcasting to serve as their Assistant Engineer between 2015 to 2016, but Joe's heart for audio production and creativity lured him back, thus he spent the next four years working on the Commercial Production team at IHeart Radio. Just recently, Joe was hired at Cleveland's Ideastream Public Media where his duties today include production, on-air work, and studio engineering. Joe also continues to serve as an Associate Producer at WRUW with his own show titled "Aging Hipster Blues". 

Born into an entertainment family and named after Carly Simon, it would make sense that Carly would pursue an entertaining career. Her parents formed a dynamic duo on air that entertained listeners on their way home from work for almost 20 years.  Fueled with that same passion, Carly performed for a living for many years taking her from Cincinnati OH to Nashville TN, where she performed at Tootsies Orchid Lounge, the same place Willie Nelson wrote Crazy for Patsy Cline. From community theater, to Kings Island to Casinos.  From Public and Private gigs, both as an Emcee and singer, Carly would always ensure those who came out had a great time! She kept those guiding principals from her parents in all she did.  As quoted by a seasoned radio consultant and friend: “Talented and dedicated. If ever there were two people who deserved to act like stars, it was them. They never did. They were always so humble, generous, friendly and kind. I  really enjoyed being around them.” That’s what Carly brings to every project; talent, dedication, humbleness, kind and fun! Her most recent performances include many different voices to entertain her 2.5yr old toddler, GEM.  All that performance history is really paying off! Carly can now be heard doing morning weather reports over radio stations WZCC, WLOH, WQBR, WHKS, and WXIS.
