Matt Tacka
On-Air Personality & ProducerMatt has come full circle on 88.1. First heard years ago as the afternoon traffic reporter with Diane Finlayson, he now keeps you company on your ride home Monday through Friday during All Things Considered, as well as on Saturday mornings. He is quite adept at brewing a fresh pot of coffee, since he usually empties it.
A well-known voice on Baltimore airwaves, he jokes that there are only one or two stations he hasn't been on. He has also done time (on radio and TV that is) in Washington D.C., Philadelphia and Delaware.
Matt also owns and operates his own voiceover company which provides voices for radio and TV commercials, imaging and various other productions across the country.
Married with three amazing daughters and a way cool step-son, he still believes he'll be a rock star one day.
