Tom Ladd

Co-Host of "Sports Talk" from 4-6 pm, Monday through Friday

Meet Tom Ladd, your seasoned radio expert. Tom has over two decades of radio experience in Springfield. Hailing from Marine, Illinois (a short drive from St. Louis), Tom's fascination with radio legends like Jack Buck, Bob Costas, and more started as soon as he could tune in.

Tom's radio journey isn't your run-of-the-mill story. He started as a baseball standout at McKendree College in Lebanon, Illinois. But the radio's siren call was too strong to resist, leading him to the Broadcast Center in St. Louis. Play-by-play was his initial goal, but he soon discovered that radio had so much more to offer. He's done it all in the industry, except maybe fixing coffee machines. 

Beyond the microphone, family is everything to Tom. He's been married to his partner-in-crime, Sharon, for 40 years, and they've raised two amazing kids who've given them three adorable grandkids.

Tom isn't just a radio aficionado; he's a sports enthusiast, fitness fanatic, and outdoor adventurer. Whether he's pedaling his bike, dominating the tennis court, or making waves in the pool or a nearby lake, Tom's zest for life knows no boundaries.
