Jake's bio has recently been declassified!
Amid the intense backbiting, crushed egos, shattered careers and rampant paranoia and suspicion so prevalent in the radio business, Jake Hartford has made his way to the top of the Saturday morning broadcast heap on Chicago's Progressive Talk.
Climbing to the top is nothing new for him. Hartford leads semi-annual mountain climbing excursions to the peaks of Nevada. Ironically, his only injury from his many adventure travel trips, came while diving off a Tahitian Island. While swimming thru a kelp bed, a koi snipped off part of his nose.
Hartford's life has been a series of ups and downs. Fresh out of school, he was a finalist for the Vice-President's Medal of Valor from a Central American country. Soon after that he tried his hand at comedy. His idea for roasting the deceased at wakes was ahead of its time, but also a failure. Not to be denied, he began his radio career that soon found him here at Chicago's Progressive Talk.
He is married to the former Ms. Dill Pickle of 1982. They have two sons. Jake spends the week tending to his 50-odd pigs at Green Jakers. In the radio business, he is often referred to as the man behind the man who is behind the man.
