When Matt took over as Program Director, it felt like a Tucson kid coming home. A fourth-generation Tucsonan, Lineweaver, Vail Jr. High, Rincon/Sabino, he was raised by this town. He was asked to do what most stations struggle with: grow the audience without losing the listeners who built it. By honoring the station’s history while moving it forward, Matt slowly reset the music and tone to sound more natural and more human. What truly sets the station apart is the chemistry across the entire team. These aren’t just voices sharing airtime, they’re a close-knit radio family, and you can hear that trust, ease, and warmth on the air every day. Matt’s wife, Randi, joins him on Tuesdays and Thursdays, making them the only newlyweds on Tucson radio, another real-life chapter listeners have followed for five years. With veteran broadcasters alongside him, the station is performing at levels not seen before.

Ken began his radio career in 1987 in central Nebraska and has been part of the Tucson radio scene since 2001. You’ve heard him on 93.7 KRQ, Z104.1, Mega 106.3, and now The Drive Tucson. Beyond being on air, Ken plays a vital role in daily station operations as Production Manager. He also runs What’s Up Tucson, the city’s most-followed news and info source on Twitter with over 125,000 followers. His love of made-up holidays helped The Drive Tucson earn a national award as Arizona’s Celebration Station. Ken loves Tucson, from the food to the weather to the people and we’re glad he calls it home. Ken is a beloved, local icon with a heart of gold. We love ken!!

Driver Leslie is a Milwaukee native, lifelong Packers fan, and proud cheesehead who made Tucson home in 1999. Her boss at WKTI connected her with Bobby Rich, who brought her to 94.9, where she spent the next 20 years. You may also recognize her voice from 104.1 The Point and The Groove. In March 2021, Bobby talked her into another radio adventure, bringing her to The Drive Tucson.
Along with keeping listeners company on the weekends, Leslie serves as Director of Commercial Operations, making sure clients’ commercials get on the air correctly and on schedule. It’s a job that takes organization, patience, and an eye for the smallest details.
Away from the station, Leslie enjoys entertaining friends, sharing her life on social media, and cheering on the Packers. She and her husband, Keith, co-host “Love, Marriage and All the CRAP in Between,” and she’s a stepmom to three. Tucson’s mountains, sunsets, and monsoons still get her excited—you’ll often find our “Rain Patrol Girl” outside capturing the weather. Just look for the bright hair!

Meet Matt & Randi, “Tucson’s Radio Newlyweds.” Their story began with a chance meeting during COVID, when a Tucson native and an East Coast girl found something neither expected. Married in 2024, they now share their life and laughter with listeners on The Drive every Tuesday and Thursday morning. Randi brings her East Coast perspective, quick wit, and plenty of stories as they navigate married life together. Their conversations are personal, playful, and rooted in the everyday moments listeners recognize in their own lives. Beyond the studio, they share a strong commitment to animal welfare in Tucson, supporting local rescues, adoption events, and efforts to help pets find loving homes.
