John Zech
Overnight Classical Host
John Zech got started in broadcasting as a news anchor at his
high school's closed-circuit television station (KRUD). While in
school at St. Olaf College, his love of classical music earned him
his first "real" radio experience at WCAL-FM. After a dozen years
doing virtually everything there was to do at a small public radio
station, John crossed over into the private sector, producing and
voicing an audio reading program for a major educational publisher,
managing multilingual translation projects for an international
communications firm, and generally learning what it's like to work
for a living. Having seen the light, John returned to radio in
1992. After deciding his zen garden was too much of a headache,
John looks for enlightenment on the tennis court and the billiard
table instead.
