Shotgun
Hi There! My name is Randy, but everyone calls me Shotgun. The reason why is a pretty good story, but it’ll cost you a beer to find out.I’m originally from Medford, WI. Home of the the Red Raiders, Weathershield Windows and Tombstone Pizza. (It’s about 45 minutes northwest of Wausau and ALL the Shannons live there.) I went to college in Eau Claire, where I met the lovely Mrs. Gun (a Wrightstown girl), and I moved here to Green Bay about 10 months before we got married. Btw, we were married in Kaukauna at Bethany Lutheran and had our reception at Paper Valley, which is all I remember as it was a loooong time ago.
It was 1993, and I had moved to Green Bay to start up a brand new country station, 99 Country. It was a super fun station and we had a blast. It was me, Bubba Depew, Jay Walker, and Big Tomm and the Mom (Sherry Stuart) in those days. Coincidentally, WGEE-FM which was 99 Country is now DUKE-FM. Talk about full circle. 🙂
I was also one of the original people on Y100 when we signed it on back in 1995. “Wisconsin’s New Country Y100” – in case you’ve ever wondered, that’s what our call letters WNCY stand for. This has been a great radio station to work for and I have many fond memories of the folks who’ve worked here in the past, many of whom I hired, and the many wonderful listeners I’ve met along the way. I was the program director of Y100 from the start until 2006 when my buddy and I decided to have some fun in the mountains for a while.
We were in Denver, CO doing a morning show for four years, then went down to San Antonio, TX where I developed a love for Texas Country and smoked meat!
My family wanted to get back home here to Green Bay, so we moved back in early 2012 and it’s amazing to be back on the station I helped build, wearing jeans and boots again, and playing great country music. I love this station, I love this area, and I love waking you up each morning on Y100.
Nat
Hi, I’m Natalie (“Nat” for short)! I’m excited to be joining Shotgun on the morning show and starting my days with you. I’m either super Type A or a hot mess, depending on the day, and count it a privilege to hang out and help you feel less alone, no matter where you fall on that spectrum.
An Army brat, I’ve moved a gazillion times in my life, but the beautiful state of Virginia is where I call home. I’ve been in Wisconsin since 2023 — first in Madison, where I started working in radio, and now in Green Bay! While I haven’t mastered the “Midwest Goodbye” just yet, it hasn’t taken long for the Midwestern accent to seep its way into my vocabulary. (I will always say “y’all” though.)
I have two littles who keep me pretty busy, so their hobbies are my hobbies. But when I DO have some “me time,” it usually involves theater, playing flute/piccolo, reading or watching historical fiction, and traveling any chance I get. I’m also half Colombian and love any opportunity to practice my Spanish!
In a past life, I was an award-winning news reporter and had the privilege to cover veterans’ issues on Capitol Hill and broadcast news stories on military bases around the world. I have a master’s in journalism from Georgetown University. (Hoya Saxa!)
P.S. I grew up in a Vikings household, but please don’t hold that against me!
