Melissa Forman is a Chicago radio icon, television personality, and the kind of storyteller who has spent decades keeping an entire city company on its drive to work. Because Melissa’s career isn’t just about radio. It’s about what it takes to build a lane in a male-dominated industry, to go from being expected to be the “sidekick” to becoming the one driving the show, and to do it with warmth, humor, and that rare ability to make listeners feel like they’re talking to a friend.We’re getting into her early days growing up, finding her voice, and the moment she heard a woman on morning radio and thought, that’s it… that’s what I’m meant to do. We talk about the behind-the-scenes grind people don’t see, the power of learning every button and every board so no one can ever tell you you don’t belong in the main seat, and what it’s like to hold space for a city when listeners call in with their funniest stories… and their heaviest ones.Link to purchase:FYLPxTracee Badway Merch CollaborationFYLPxWRDSMTH Merch Collaboration*suggestion is to size upDownload this episode of For Your Listening Pleasure wherever you get your podcasts!
