    Wake Up-Mid-Missouri: Monday – Friday: 6:00am – 9:00am.

    Branden was born and raised a Missouri boy in St. Louis. When he was growing up in South St. Louis, his parents told him to come home when the streetlights came on.  After being gone for 25 years during his career in Florida and Idaho, “the streetlights came on” so he made his way back to Missouri. Branden has now been with Zimmer for about 6 years. During his extensive career, he has been highly recognized, including receiving two separate Edward R. Murrow awards for reporting during the 2010 Gulf Coast Oil spill and the 2012 Sandy Hook School shooting. He was also awarded by the Missouri Broadcaster's Association in 2015 for his reporting on unrest at the University of Missouri. 

    Being an established voice in the mid-Missouri community, Branden is involved with Mizzou College Republicans, Columbia Pachyderms, and several other local political-minded groups where he is a frequent speaker. Some of his favorite hobbies and pastimes include exploring the Western states, skiing, spending time with his three grandkids, and walking local trails.

    Hannah Adkisson

    Wake Up mid-Missouri: Monday – Friday: 5:30am – 9:00am.

    Hannah Adkisson is a mid-Missouri native originally from Centralia, Missouri, who since high school has been interested in social and political interest topics. What started out as a simple request for Branden Rathert to be a speaker in her high school journalism class started a relationship that fueled a passion. Later as a high school senior, she returned the favor and was a guest speaker on a panel discussion for The Eagle, an opportunity on which she launched a career.

    She pursued a part-time job at the Eagle in college, which soon became full-time. It wasn’t long before her talent, perspective and professionalism propelled her to a quick promotion to the Producer of “Wake Up mid-Missouri!” Her favorite part of her radio career is the connection she builds with her audience; The Wake-Up mid-Missouri Family.

    Hannah follows Mizzou women’s volleyball and basketball, photography, music, and crafting when she's not working. She’s even been working on her mastery of the acoustic guitar. Hannah is extremely passionate about supporting mid-Missouri businesses. Small-town Missouri is where her roots are, and for that reason, she loves seeing local businesses succeed and doing everything she can to help make that happen.

    Randall (Randy) W. Tobler, MD, FACOG, CPE

    KWOS Evening Show: Monday – Friday: 4:00pm – 6:00pm.

    Dr. Randy Tobler is a board-certified Obstetrician Gynecologist, celebrating 33 years practice. He has a passion for teaching...patients, peers, and the public. A native of St. Louis, he was trained at the prestigious Washington University School of Medicine. Additionally, he is a hospital CEO, professional broadcaster and speaker, and accomplished musician. His work has been recognized with teaching, research and broadcast awards.

    “The Randy Tobler Show” started in STL, and has received top ratings, with analysis and commentary on current events and culture. Now, he’s proud to bring his unique style to mid-Missouri, with the addition of a weekday drive time program on the Zimmer Radio Network. His non-negotiable broadcast principles are truth-seeking and calling out politically correct absurdity at every opportunity…all with a wink of humor and big nod to America’s First Principles and traditional values.

    A father of three and husband of 40 years, Dr. Tobler is grateful to his wife, Heliene, and children Sean, Shannon, and Samantha for sustaining him through the trials of a serious illness in 1997. Their support and love, coupled with a deep faith that abides through any turbulence, serve as a constant reminder of the importance of perspective and commitment in life’s journey.
