Rob Hakala, the 20+ year host of The South Shore’s Morning News at 95.9 WATD-FM Marshfield, joins Larry and Lindsay on the eleventh episode of Deep Dives & Light Laughs. He shares stories from his incredible nine years of interviewing Steve Carell at the "Thing on the Porch" at Marshfield Hills General Store and other tales of getting started in broadcasting. He had a passion for radio ever since he received his first radio and microphone at the age of 12. Years later, he wound up broadcasting for “real” at Curry College’s 91.5 WMLN-FM in Milton. Soon after, he ended up at 95.9 WATD for his first stint as a news reporter and afternoon anchor. Rob left 95.9 WATD to work full-time for Shadow Traffic in Boston, but the South Shore called him back. He returned to 95.9 WATD in November, 2000 to host a brand new program called “The South Shore’s Morning News.” The program was designed and created by Rob and former WATD News Director Aaron Katersky.
