Kat Simons was a staple of Richmond radio for over 30 years and late Friday we found out she had passed away. This was a shock to all of us as Kat has been such an anchor in the community and touched everyone she came in contact with. Throughout most of the show we remember Kat and emphasize that what matters most is people and how hard it is to say goodbye.

We love you Kat and your sweet smile and pure soul will be missed and may we all love others the way you did.    

During this third hour Jeff continues remembering Kat Simons as well as going over a few news items of the day. 

During the second hour of the show Jeff welcomes Chad Wolf during the first half and Carl Carlson in the second half for a chat. 

Personal finances are key to your future and Carl Carlson knows a thing or two about it and spends some time with Jeff giving you a few pointers you can use for yourself! 

Previous Trump administration official Chad Wolf joins Jeff to talk about the situation at the boarder and whether he plans to serve in a second Trump term. 

Friday evening we received the terrible news that our friend & colleague Kat Simons had passed away. Kat was an anchor of our community and the people who knew her or met her could immediately tell how genuine she really was. Please take a moment as we remember our friend, Kat Simons. 

It is Friday but also Blue Friday so we would like to honor Park Ranger Dustin Yates. In addition Jeff welcomes Dr. Dave Brat, Stan Andrewski & Melanie Clark on this Blue Friday Edition of The Jeff Katz Show.

Thank you for your service to our community Dustin.  

In this third hour Jeff is joined by Melanie Clark and we have an edited version of Jeff's interview with Virginia Park Ranger Dustin Yates.
