Jeff Fisher, better known as Jeffy from Blaze Media, built his radio career through chaos, arrests, odd jobs, and on-air mistakes that somehow didn’t take him out.

On this Throwback Tuesday edition of At The Mic with Keith Malinak, Keith sits down with Jeffy for a conversation that lives in the tension between things going wrong and somehow working anyway. From strange jobs to on-air mistakes, the path to radio isn’t polished, but it is real, and that’s exactly what makes it stick.
