 “There’s definitely a victim culture (with sports radio hosts) now. They take great delight in being offended!” – Fred Toucher

You’ve thought about being the top-rated sports talk morning show in your market right? You’re likely aware that it’s not easy to do!

Now imagine reaching that milestone while transitioning from a music format to a sports format for the first time in your career.

Oh yeah, and it’s in Boston, arguably one of the most passionate sports markets in the country.

Fred Toucher did that, and did it fast. With his partner, Rich Shertenlieb, the show has become one of the most popular in the country, while fending off criminals (tongue in cheek) on the way to the top.

Toucher is the focus of this edition of The PASR.
