Hey yo!

I’m JP Black. Born and raised in Chicago (Bear Down!) with detours through Florida, Michigan, and Iowa, now calling Colorado home. Allow me to violate your ears weekdays from 10 am to 2 pm on 98.1 KKFM.

When the mic’s off, I’m usually thumping a five-string bass. Yes, 5 strings is better than 4. It’s one louder isn’t it? I worship the metal gods of Maiden and Metallica. (why won’t the metal horn emoji post!)

As you can see below, I’m also the resident nerd for everything from Star Wars and pro wrestling to comics, toys, and tabletop games. I even created my own card game, Death Path!

Want more J.P. Black? Of course you do. Check out my podcast Comics.FM, where I make radio folks read a comic book and then geek out about it. Think Hot Ones, but swap the wings for graphic novels and the A-listers for radio personalities. Learn some words of wisdom from radio legends (in their own mind).

Trivia time: I’m that blurry Homeland Security Agent from S3E19 of Chicago Fire and the guy who choked in the Bonus Round on Wheel of Fortune.

Peak moment? Age nine. Appearing on The Bozo Show and meeting Michael Jordan. It’s all been downhill since.
