James Fitz

Hometown: St. Paul, Minnesota

Hobbies: I am a HUGE sports fanatic (Go Vikes/T-Wolves/Twins!), so I am usually glued to either ESPN or tuned into ESPN radio. I love playing sports, too. I used to play basketball for UW-Eau Claire and still try to play as much as possible. I also love music and movies. What can I say? I’m a media addict.

Favorite Music: I am a big fan of a lot of different music, and my favorite type of music is hip-hop (Although this Country music is starting to make its way onto my iTunes!) I’m a huge fan of Atmosphere and Kid Cudi, but Country-wise I really like Jason Aldean, Eric Church, Jake Owen, and I have a small crush on Carrie Underwood (who am I kidding, it’s a big crush)

Why did I get into Radio?: I always listened to the radio driving around the Twin Cities to and from school, and have always had a love for media, whether is was the radio or TV. I love listening to sports radio like The Scott Van Pelt Show or Mike and Mike in the Morning on ESPN, and decided that I wanted to get into sports media as well. I’m hoping to get my own sports show someday either on TV or the radio!

Favorite Shows: Sportscenter, any ESPN 30 for 30 films, E:60, Dexter, Breaking Bad, The Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, The Office, The League, Archer, Ridiculousness, Family Guy

Question I get asked most often: “How tall are you?” quickly followed by “Do you play basketball?”
