- Now for our Wisconsin look segment.
In a celebration of a public broadcasting icon who retired
today after 31 years at Wisconsin Public Radio.
For the past nearly 15 years, Joy Cardin has been the host of
"The Joy Cardin Show."
- I'm Joy Cardin talking with Joe and Terry.
- You heard her every morning from 6:00 till 9:00.
A steady, friendly, informed voice behind the microphone of
Wisconsin Public Radio.
In her more than three decades, she was everything from beat
reporter to news director and beyond.
- Hello, I'm Frederica Freyberg.
- And I'm joy Cardin.
- Joy lent her news chops to WPT collaborations
over the years and has won several awards
for reporting, editing and hosting.
And it was as host of her namesake show,
where she expanded the boundaries of the state
from a 7th floor studio.
- The 31 years, I've been doing a lot of different things.
But it was all in the mission of
inspiring and serving and engaging
listeners in the state of Wisconsin.
And I can't think of a higher purpose.
So that kept me going.
I am going to miss Wisconsin Public Radio and my coworkers
and my colleagues at Wisconsin Public Television.
I am going to-- I am going to miss the listeners.
I'm going to miss the guests.
But I am not going to miss
getting up at 1:00 in the morning.
I'm not going to miss my early morning schedule.
- Thank you, Joy, and congrats on your last day.
