Ad Break

Long Form (multi topic, hourly/full show)

For five decades, Terri Hemmert has been a voice that Chicagoans rely on not just for new music or Beatles factoids, but for being an advocate of the arts. Inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame in 2010, she first joined the on-air staff of WXRT in 1973, becoming the first female drive-time host on a Chicago rock radio station. Still, she humbly admits that her giddiness to play records and connect with her audience pushed her career more so than blazing trails. Whether as a disc jockey or as an instructor at Columbia College, the city's appreciation for Hemmert as an educator is limitless, as shown last week, when 93XRT celebrated Hemmert's 50th anniversary with the station. In this first of a two-part episode, WBBM anchor and resident radio-history buff Rob Hart sits down with Hemmert to discuss her journey from small-town Ohio to the airwaves of Chicago.
