staff tim homeJoe is an enthusiastic young talent in radio who is living the dream as a personality on his favorite station, WQMX! Joe got his start in college serving as the Production Director for the University of Akron's Z88, and his love for live and local radio has since skyrocketed. He was brought on as an intern for RCRG in 2022 working as a weekend jock and member of the street team in promotions until landing the overnight position on WQMX.

Joe is a lifelong local to the Akron/Canton area. Outside of the studio, he has a love for boating, fishing, disc golf, and off-roading. He is the proud owner of a classic American muscle car, and the toughest decision he faces on a sunny day is whether to drive his Chevy or ride his motorcycle. Fun fact: Joe LOVES grape flavor.

Rain is a Good Thing... Sometimes

Written by
Storms are awesome, unless of course you're on the lawn of Blossom or another outdoor venue waiting for the performers to hit the stage, only to get stuck in monsoon-level rainfall resulting in the cancellation of the show. I personally had a really bad experience with this when I drove all the way to NYC, booked an Airbnb, and attempted to see one of my favorite acts play a music festival.  It was on an…

That's One Sick SxS

Written by
Just WOW! If you're into powersports like me, then there's a good chance you may have seen some of the buzz online about Can-Am's new performance side by side, the 2024 Maverick R. It is an absolute monster of a machine with a 7 speed dual clutch automatic transmission paired to a 999cc turbocharged inline three cylinder engine, boasting a best in class 240 reported horsepower. I could go on and on about what makes this…

Overnights

Written by
Working the overnight air shift on WQMX has so far been a great experience for me. It has certainly been much different than I have previously been accustomed to, in a multitude of ways. My days are completely upside down in terms of my schedule, but it is actually working out nicely with all things considered. I have had some sleepy nights where I wondered if I would make it to the other side of…

Look Out For Motorcycles

Written by
Too many fatal crashes occur on two wheels every year, and quite often it has nothing to do with the biker or their ability. A motorcyclist is 28 times more likely to lose their life in a fatal collision compared to other motorists on the road, and motorcycles are undeniably more vulnerable in nearly any given situation. Motorcycles are smaller, more difficult to see, and less intimidating than typical vehicles when headed in your direction.…

Stuck in the Mud

Written by
There's not much in this world I would rather do on any given day than ride my quad through some trails. Whether its Bear Creek or simply the swamp in my back yard, my Recon is like a magnet to mud holes.  Riding with friends is not only significantly more fun, but also safer. On top of that, if you get stuck like I tend to do, there's another machine to help get you out.…

A Change of Speed

Written by
My car is rough. It's an older Honda Civic that runs like a top and drives well, but years of rust-belt winter driving have taken their toll on the body and undercarriage. I was cleaning some of the dirt and grass off of my wheel wells this past Saturday, after parking in the grass lot for Neon Nights, when I discovered a fist-sized hole in the driver's floorboard. I've driven worse in the past, but…

Mosquito Bites

Written by
I spend a great deal of time outside, and there is no doubt my favorite season is fall. We're not quite there yet, despite pumpkin spiced and Halloween items already being available at many businesses in anticipation of the season. The worst part about fall is that it is kind of like Sunday, in that it's enjoyable, but you know what is coming up next won't be fun.  Anyways, no matter what the season is,…

How does this happen?!

Written by
Do you ever have something happen to you and your first instinct is to look around for Ashton Kutcher because you feel like it is so ridiculous it can't even be real? Let me take you back a step. Recently I cleaned out my car. I vividly remember taking out my four floormats to clean them. About a week later I notice that one of them is not in my car. Your guess is as…

Say it isn't so! Morgan Wallen chops the mullet

Written by

Morgan Wallen has ditched his signature mullet hairstyle and is now sporting a buzzcut. He was seen onstage in Columbus on Friday in a red ball cap, to the conternation of those in the audience as well as on the internet. Fans have…

Slap-a-da-bass!

Written by
All my life, music has held a special place in my heart. When I was in elementary school, we were taught to play the recorder and "Hot Cross Buns" was my jam! We also had a few acoustic guitar lessons, which planted the seed in me to grow into the instrumentalist I am today. In 6th grade I picked up the trumpet and seemed to have a natural ability with it, but after an inability…
