I recently got hooked on a morning radio talk show which airs on WGN-AM radio in Chicago from 9 am to noon Monday through Friday. The hosts are Bill Leff and Wendy Snyder. It's called "Bill and Wendy"
I got curious about Snyder because she is so sarcastic yet comfortable with Bill Leff. Snyder started her career in Northbrook, Il in 1985 on a Christian radio station. She the scoured a publication called "Radio and Records" and landed a position in Peoria, Il.
After that stint she came back to Chicago and got a position at WLUP-FM that started at 4 AM on Sundays.
She was successful and in 1992 she was teamed up with Kevin Matthews. Then, in 1993 Wendy was paired up with Garry Meyer when he and Steve Dahl split up.
In 1994 she started to host shows with several funny men one of whom was Bill Leff. They became popular and developed a following.They were together until 1999. After a 14 year separation Bill and Wendy were reunited on WGN-AM in 2013. I got hooked by Wendy's deferential and sarcastic treatment of Leff.
It's a good radio program strictly which is strictly light hearted but entertaining and sometimes contentious between the hosts.
Bill is the baby and Wendy is the mother.
They seem so different but "Bill and Wendy" works.
