Ted Sohier
Ted’s a career broadcaster. As the son of a talented pianist, he grew up with a love of all things music. Realizing he’d never become a great musician himself, he decided he’d try to share his love of music with others on the radio. Ted’s musical tastes are broad – from Miles Davis to Joni Mitchell’s Miles of Aisles, Bela Bartok to Bela Fleck, Lowell George to George Gershwin – and he stands by the Duke Ellington quote: “There are two kinds of music – good music and the other kind.”
