HISTORY

I have been in radio since 1993, when I joined Clear Channel Radio of New Orleans' promotions department as an intern.  In 1996 I successfully made the jump to the airwaves as the producer of the "C.J. & Company" morning show on WQUE-FM. 

In 2000, I joined the staff of WYLD-FM to get deeper into on-air work.  I had the privilege of hosting two very cool shows---"Friday Night Funk" and "Studio 98".  The two party show provided an avenue for folks to hear the party side of me, plus the music was fun to play.

Now Southeast Louisiana radio listeners can catch me on both Q93 and 98.5-WYLD.  I produce and co-host "Real Talk" on Q93 with Wild Wayne, and I co-produce and contribute to "Sunday Journal" on 98.5-WYLD.  The show, which is hosted by Hal Clark, was selected the 2009 Best Radio Talk Show by the Press Club of New Orleans.

My broadcasting adventures have also taken me to the television airwaves.  Back in the day, I hosted two shows on New Orleans Access Television.  One show was "Eddie Francis: My TV Show!" and the other was "Ed. Talk".

Where my greatest joy lies is in interviews.  I have had the pleasure of interviewing some of the coolest folks like:  Donna Brazile; Maurice White of Earth, Wind & Fire; Danny Glover; U.S. Congressman Bobby Scott; Stan Verrett; Susan Taylor; India.Arie; Louis Gossett, Jr.; and Jeffrey Osborne.
