I'm Buzznight, the host of Taking a Walk Music History on Foot, the podcast where we talk to musicians and media insiders, join us for an episode with WBZAM radio reporter Matt Sheer.

Yeah, I've always been excited by the idea of highlighting just the weirdness of reality, because like, it's so much more entertaining than stuff you can make up, you know.

Matt oversees the station's groundbreaking TikTok account.

If I'm not having fun doing a story, then why should I expect anybody to have fun listening to it? If you show somebody something that's so ridiculous and say, this is a real place or a real person, that's way more interesting than this is a sketch that I came up with. Not any there's anything wrong with sketch comedy. I think it's great, and there are some absolutely brilliant sketch comedians out there, But I just don't think I'm that kind of funny enough.

That's reporter Matt Sheer. Starting on December fifteenth, on the Taking a Walk podcast on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
