Longtime Beasley WXTU/Philadelphia PD/midday host Mark "Razz" Radziewicz is retiring May 22. “It has been an incredible journey,” he says. “I am so very grateful to the listeners who welcomed me into their lives each day, and to the amazing team I’ve had the privilege to work with over the years. I want to thank the Beasley family for their support, belief, and friendship throughout my time here. Philadelphia will always hold a special place in my heart.” Razz joined the station in 2006, rose to MD in 2010, APD/MD in 2017 (CAT 6/6/17) and PD in 2019 (Breaking News 1/7/19). His previous stops include WBZZ/Pittsburgh, WAAF/Boston, WAXQ & WXRK/New York and WMMR/Philadelphia. Reach him here until May 22.
