The Hardy Boys with Meltdown.
Ross ForemanAs another year and another year at WRIF come to a close, I just wanted to say Thank You for another great year. You guys let me live out my dreams every day. I mean, I make a living in the rock world, a world I always wanted to be in from the time I became a music fan.

To be honest, there's not a day where I don't feel like going to work. It's a new challenge and new experiences daily. From doing interviews on my Talkin' Rock podcast to meeting clients to hosting bar/bike nights and more. Every day is a day I look forward to.

Maybe I'll do more behind-the-scenes stuff in 2025 to share what I do at WRIF. So much goes into it, that it's hard to fathom how I get it done each day.

2025 could be the biggest year yet. I have some things in the works that I'll hopefully be announcing soon. That being said, you're stuck with me for another couple of years, as I've signed a new contract with the station to take me through my 30th anniversary at WRIF (November 1st) and into 2026. Wow! Who would've thought when I started in 1995 that I'd still be rockin' the RIFF? I guess I did because I'm still here.
To wrap up this post, thank you to Jade for always having my back. Thank you to every one of you who interacted with me this year, whether out and about or on social media. Thank you to every artist I've had the chance to interview this year. Thank you to all the venues that treat me so well. Thank you to all my coworkers who help me every day. And thank you to you, the listener with whom none is possible.
See you in 2025!
