Todd Feinburg
Todd is a radio talk host from Boston, where he co-hosts the morning show on WRKO, Boston's Talk Station. For six years he hosted a nationally syndicated weekend talk radio program, which started in March of 2003. Todd got the radio bug while in college, working as a newscaster, DJ, and eventually the General Manager of WMFO, the 100 watt FM station at Tufts University.
While he preferred radio to academics from his first day behind the mic, the books were left pretty far behind for good when the station was destroyed by fire during his junior year. Todd was too busy getting the station back on the air - within hours, at a new location on campus using equipment donated from a commercial Boston radio station (thanks to radio legend Arnie the Woo Woo Ginsburg) and records donated by listeners - to pay too much attention to text books anymore. After graduating from Tufts University by the skin of his teeth with a degree in political science, Todd became an international chemical trader with Sobin Chemical in Boston, focusing on trade with China. Two years later, he left the family business to pursue a career in radio.
Todd worked as a disc jockey, news director and beautiful music announcer before spending two years as a helicopter traffic reporter in Boston. Then came a career change, as Todd entered the restaurant business. It was his wife's business, Rosalie's Restaurant in Marblehead, Massachusetts, that distracted Todd from his radio passion. Rosalie's, already a very popular spot, became insanely busy when it was featured in a TV commercial for credit card giant VISA in 1986 - one of the first in their "they don't take your American Express Card," series. Ten years later, they got out of the business, exhausted - and after a year of recovery, Todd returned to radio.
Todd has spent the past twelve years in the talk radio field, working at stations around New England. In 2003 he joined WRKO, which has been Boston's dominant talk station since the early 1980's. Todd hosted evenings and late mornings there before the move to mornings in January. Todd has toured the Middle East several times since September 11, visiting Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Oman. In 2005, he spent 6 weeks as a long term substitute teacher in an urban middle school so that he could gain some first hand experience with the public schools. Todd has been named three times to Talkers Magazine's list of the Top 100 Most Important Talk Hosts in America.
Born and raised in Lexington, Todd has always lived in the Greater Boston area, except for a year at the University of Denver. Todd currently lives with his wife, Rosalie, on Boston's North Shore.
