Welcome to WATD 95.9

Walk of the Week airs spring through fall Thursdays at 6:56 a.m. John Galluzzo has a deep knowledge of the region and each week he shares his recommendation for a walk through the South Shore.

John Galluzzo has spent his entire life on the South Shore and today uses his deep knowledge of the region to teach others about its nature and history. His “South Shore Walk of the Week,” running (or walking) at 6:56 every Thursday morning from the spring through the fall, and based on his popular book Half an Hour a Day on Foot: An Obsessive Exploration of the Nature of the South Shore of Boston, is the radio expression of that goal.

John is a grant writer for the South Shore YMCA. He also writes a weekly column for the Hull Times and contributes to several other publications on a regular basis. He’s penned, oftentimes with wonderful coauthors, books on numerous South Sore communities.

He’s often heard on the South Shore Morning News and occasionally pops in to Ray Brown’s Talkin’ Birds and Nautical Talk with Captain Lou, both on Sunday mornings.

MommaJam is hosted by WATD’s mom, Sara Eberle, and airs every Thursday at 7:10 a.m.

Sara Eberle produces and hosts MommaJam, a crank up the volume, shout out loud audio podcast for mothers that cover MOP Culture (mom pop culture) which she launched in 2008. Sara is the mom of two teenagers. She realized mothers need some edge, stimulating conversation and connections to other parents, since being at home with young children can be isolating.

Every episode features a special guest who is an expert, artist, parent in the trenches, or business leader making front line decisions about products and entertainment influencing your children. The topics are appropriate for moms in all stages of parenthood, from baby to teenagers.

Prior to MommaJam, Sara owned a public relations firm in Los Angeles, representing video games, consumer software products and technology companies. She is an entrepreneur at heart and, after running a business and being in the thick of pop culture and emerging technologies for 15 years, she is happily raising her children and dreaming up the next big step for MommaJam, which is to launch the show on satellite or terrestrial radio nationwide.

Besides hosting MommaJam, Sara is a contributing writer for Parents and Kids magazine. She has also written for FamilyFun and Night Sky magazines. In 2005, Sara wrote a monthly column called, The New Mom, for the Lincoln Journal and Lexington Minuteman, two newspapers in metro Boston.
