J.P. Black

J.P. Black here. I’m from Chicago (Bear Down!) and spent time in Florida, Michigan, and Iowa before moving to Colorado. You can find me on the air weekdays from 10am-2pm. When I’m not on the radio, I pretend to slap the bass and yes — 5 strings are better than 4. It’s one louder. Pro tip: If you talk about Iron Maiden or Metallica with me, we are automatically friends.

As you can tell by the photo below, I’m also the guy talking about all the nerdery from Star Wars to pro rasslin’ to comics, toys, and games. I even created my own card game, Death Path!

If you want even more JP (and who doesn’t?!) watch me force radio people to read a comic book and discuss on my podcast Comics.FM. It’s like the show Hot Ones, but instead of wings it’s comics — and instead of REAL celebrities it’s radio people!

Score bonus points if you recognize me as the out-of-focus Homeland Security Agent from S3E19 of Chicago Fire or choking in the Bonus Round of Wheel of Fortune!

Summary: I peaked at 9 years old with a Bozo Show appearance and meeting Michael Jordan. All downhill from there.
