The Woody Show Adds LA Vet Gina Grad

September 9th, 2024

iHeartMedia Alternative KYSR (ALT 98.7)/Los Angeles announces Gina Grad has joined “The Woody Show” cast of co-hosts, effective immediately. The Woody Show broadcasts weekdays on ALT 98.7 from 4am-10am and is syndicated nationally and across the globe on American Forces Network.

Gina joins co-hosts Greg Gory, Menace, and Sebas. The show’s creator/host Woody is a 30-year radio veteran and brought his top-rated show to ALT 98.7 in April 2014. Since 2019, they have steadily remained a Top 5 Nielsen-rated show in Los Angeles across all major demos.

Woody said, “Gina came highly recommended by many, including a radio hall of famer who will (and should) remain nameless…. ok, it was Mark Thompson (of Mark and Brian). I was already a fan of her work with Adam Carolla, and after meeting her when I was a guest on Adam’s show, I knew that she would be my first call if the opportunity ever presented itself. She’s a total pro and a perfect fit for The Woody Show.”

Grad is thrilled to be the newest addition to The Woody Show. She has been a prominent voice in Los Angeles radio since 2006, working at KLSX with “The Tim Conway Jr. Show,” KSWD (100.3 FM The Sound) co-hosting mornings with Mark Thompson, and anchoring on KFI (AM 640) where she is still the station’s female imaging voice. Grad also previously co-hosted “The Adam Carolla Show” podcast for eight years.

Grad said, “I absolutely cannot wait to join The Woody Show! The team’s shared sense of humor, raw unfiltered take on society, and unbelievable work ethic make me proud to be part of this group. Woody is an absolute genius at what he does. I’m really excited to connect with listeners through questionable jokes, unapologetic opinions, and some truly insane stories from a lifetime of acting before thinking… I’m all in!”

“Gina brings an incredible wealth of talent and experience,” said Lisa Worden, Program Director for ALT 98.7 and SVP Rock and Alternative for iHeartMedia. “Combine that with her really fun, no-holds-barred attitude, and poof — we’ve found our next star to join the already all-star cast of The Woody Show. We’re all beyond excited to have Gina on board, ready to entertain LA and OC once again!”
