Ellen K hosts mornings on KOST 103.5 in Los Angeles, and hosts her own nationally syndicated weekend show. Before getting her own show in 2015 she spent more than a decade as Ryan Seacrest's co-host on 102.7 KIIS FM, and alongside hall of famer Rick Dees for more than a decade before that! Ellen -- who initially went to Purdue University to become a veterinarian -- has done radio in Indianapolis, Modesto, San Diego and San Francisco. We talk about work-life balance as a new mom working early morning shifts while trying to breastfeed or pump, the challenges of being married to a former radio executive, the transition from working with Rick to mentoring Ryan, and the pressure of now having her name on the marquis. We get into what it's like being on KOST 103.5 around Christmastime, and we play Ellen K or Nay! Such a fun, feel good episode! https://www.instagram.com/officialellenk/ https://twitter.com/officialellenk https://www.facebook.com/officialellenk/ https://kost1035.iheart.com/featured/ellen-k/ https://kost1035.iheart.com/featured/ellen-k-weekend-show/ Ellen K featured in Ventura Blvd magazine https://venturablvd.goldenstate.is/meet-7-women-who-are-making-our-world-a-better-place/ ••• You can hear The News Bender Podcast host Aron Bender on The Tim Conway Jr Show weeknights 6-10 on KFI AM 640. https://twitter.com/aronbender https://www.instagram.com/aronbender ••• Support The News Bender Podcast by supporting our sponsors: Don Francisco's Coffee https://www.donfranciscos.com/shop ••• Jingle courtesy of Bradley & Jammie Hampton [email protected]
