We always share a strange twist that’ll get people talking aro

Karen Wooden is the founder, producer and host of Radio TakeOver. Originally from the Windy City, Karen grew up in the Rocky Mountains, then lived in the Golden State and the Lone Star State before coming to the Sunshine State. Karen holds a degree in Criminal Justice and a certificate in Early Childhood Education. That may explain how she can deal so effectively with her co-host. Prior to moving to Florida, Karen was a freelance photojournalist with the Waco Tribune Herald and Waco Hometown News. Karen has been a Boy Scouts of America Public Relations Chair, and volunteers at both of her son’s schools. Karen is the level-headed, cordial and polite professional host everyone loves. Co-host and producer Chuck Fresh was born and raised in Philadelphia. Fresh paid his way through Temple University working in marketing while performing as a DJ between classes. Fresh is an internationally recognized voiceover talent, runs Brevard Marketing, and hosts several popular YouTube channels. Fresh has written more than a dozen books under various pseudonyms. Fresh serves as the comic relief – he is the “left-field” guy who if full of life and performs most of the character voices – and always asks the questions “everyone else is afraid to ask.”

Radio TakeOver has attracted the attention of several nationally known guests including House of Cards actor Jeremy Holm, America’s Got Talent finalist Sal Valetenilli, and national country music star Cheree White. RTO is growing quickly in reputation and popularity, and is poised to become a daily broadcast offering national broadcast syndication to AM and FM stations across the United State during the second half of 2017. YOU can be a part of this growing enterprise at the ground level! Sponsorships and advertisements embedded in our streaming media run FOREVER, so as our views grow, so do yours! HOW YOU CAN TAKE OVER THE TAKEOVER! We do require a flat-rate production fee of $150 for radio guests. Considering all the publicity on the radio, on Facebook, on YouTube, on iTunes and other places you’ll receive as a result of your appearance, you’ll find it’s easily well worth the expense. We’re one of the few radio shows that also offers VIDEO too! Our team can capture your appearance on Radio TakeOver on video with one or two cameras, edit the footage, include YOUR OWN commercial advertisement, and post the finished video on YouTube and Facebook for a few extra dollars. You are welcomed to use that video footage in all your promotional efforts forever. And if you’re a sponsor or advertiser, we can add your own radio or television commercials into all of our own commercial breaks, which will play online indefinitely! If you don’t have a commercial, the Radio TakeOver team can write and produce that for you too. We can't wait to have you on air with us! Contact us today for more information.
