SoA Staff
Julie Kredens, Host
A Chicago native (and Cubs fan by birth), Julie did most of her growing up in Louisville. A Western Kentucky University graduate (with a degree in theatre and history), she began her radio career more than ten years ago, first on the WQMF morning show, Uncle Ron's Asylum, then as a news reporter for WHAS radio. Julie also spent time as editorial assistant for a newsletter on journalism ethics.
Julie left broadcasting for a period of years to work in public relations. But finding the radio bug hard to shake, she did occasional work for the old WFPK program ArtScene. Julie's second foray into Louisville radio came in September 1998, when she once again joined WQMF's Rocky and Troy morning show.
She began working part-time as a researcher for WFPL's State of Affairs, finally joining the PRP staff full-time in May 2000 as local host for Morning Edition. Julie now hosts State of Affairs.
Robin Fisher, Producer
Robin is a Louisville native and as such knows when someone asks her "where did you go to school", they mean high school (Ballard/Central). As for college, she is a graduate of Eastern Kentucky University and the University of Louisville.
Robin joined WFPL in 2000 as the Researcher for State of Affairs. After toiling away in the dark corridors of research, she became the Producer in 2005. The research experience has been invaluable in tracking down anything, anywhere and at anytime.
 Laura Ellis, Assistant | Louisville native Laura Ellis has been with WFPL since July, 2004. Her very-impressive official title is "State of Affairs Assistant," which means she directs the program each day, and works on research, notes and other preparations for upcoming shows. Laura also works closely with Studio 619.
Outside the hallowed halls of WFPL, she can be found singing and playing accordion and a pink guitar with her band, Shine-Ola, and her metal band The Unscrupulous God-Men, with whom she sings Black Sabbath in Ozzy's original key. Additionally, Laura volunteers with Chihuahua Rescue, USA, because she loves cute little puppy-wuppies. |
