Carrie Danger is the afternoon driver of the Rubber City Radio Group in Akron, Oh, for 107.3 alternative cleveland. In her “Danger Zone” segment, she sets new music onto the market and brings awareness of mental health with “Monday mental health”.

Carrie's radio career started in 2010 at Maverick Media in Lima, Oh, as a morning technology. In 2011 she received a job as a afternoon driver host at 95.3 WLKR with Elbc in Norwalk, where she learned many different aspects of the business. She was there until 2017 when she left full -time radio to experience jobs outside the industry.

After Carrie returned to Ohio in 2019, he returned to the radio, headed part -time work with the board for local games and filled filled out at WLKR if necessary. In 2022 she landed 7p – 12a with RCRG on 107.3 alternative cleveland. She rocked nights until 2024 when she was promoted for the afternoon trip, and she has been there ever since.

“107.3 Alternative Cleveland is all about community,” says Carrie. “We are great lawyers for mental health, not only with” mental health Monday “, but also with Nami (National Alliance of Mental Health) by Greater Cleveland. We believe in living and local jocks who actually make a connection or a difference or make them at a concert or event.”

“When I crack the microphone, the most important thing for me is to make the day of a person a little better. I want my listeners to get out of their car with a smile on their face and music. I really enjoy all aspects of life, it's so short, you know.

“For a long time I thought it was amazing to be a jock for Fuse or Host TRL, but it was my true calling. It is a lot of fun thinking about our inspiration, and we not only have one thing. Our experiences shape us and lead our way to which we should go. The film. The film. The film. The film. Good morning, Vietnam Had a big influence on me, whether they believe it or not. Robin Williams' character was commissioned to bring information and a good attitude to a terrible time.

It was like magic in which he leaves 'Gooooood Morning Vietnam'. This is exactly what you can expect if you respond to the risk of Carrie. I knew that I should do that for others. I love to bring people in Cleveland the good mood and a smile every weekday afternoon. “

“I would say that one of my greatest professional achievements so far won the best radio presenter in 2024 at the Cleveland Music Awards. That was huge for me. At a personal level, I was able to say goodbye to alcohol over a year ago and the woman I should be sober.

Another thing that Carrie's life has changed is working with some amazing mentors. “I am so grateful for the experienced talent that I have worked with over the years,” she says. “What is really something special is that I have worked specifically with a lot of incredible experienced women. I not only learned about the business, but also learned to relax and grind on because the things in which they are intended does not work. That does not mean working for themselves if they want something to speak!”

Carrie has experienced her share of challenges over the years. “What I want to say is more of a growing pain, something you have to go through to find out what you,” she emphasizes. “My challenge has focused on what I can control in and out of the studio. I was brought up by an incredible single mother who also an army, Robin. From the women around me, helped me to concentrate on what I can control.

“This business is developing and can sometimes question it what is right or wrong and who you can and what you can't,” says Carrie. “Keep your heart true and live with good intentions, no matter what happens. I enjoy the practice of the four agreements, which are highly recommended to everyone.”

“The most important thing I have learned over the years that I wish more people are understood is that on-air talent is not just someone who talks about them. We are your companion. This is something that I have known since my little period and my friends on the radio in Clarksville, TN. I don't just want a voice, they also want a buddy.”

So what is missing in the industry? “This is a difficult!” Says Carrie. “If I had to say that something is missing, it is the passion for the craft how many radio showers take over on every show. I see a lot of people come in and only accept that it is like a podcast or just as a comedian. This is simply not wrong. I see applicants and think: “Oh, it is so easy to do so”, but they are missing the passion to improve the instructions that they get from their executives. for the future of radio entertainment. “
