The Jewish Radio Mafia: Nudge

A.K.A.: "The Kid"
From: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Age: 22 years
Been in Radio: 6 years
Heard On: Star 94, "Nudge at Night"

HIGHS, LOWS AND RED SPEEDOS: "I was an intern at 16 at the radio station concert, and one of the DJs wasn’t there in time," remembers Nudge. "So in front of 25,000 people I walk out on stage, 130 lbs. of twisted steel and sex appeal. I had no idea what I was doing." Then he took those 130 lbs. to a Miami morning show. "I remember standing on the top of a van in the busiest intersection during morning rush hour in nothing but a red Speedo." Talk about paying your dues.

STALKERS CAN BE FUN: When he arrived in Atlanta, knowing nobody, Nudge gave JDate a try. Turns out there are some crazies on there, and he ended up being stalked even at his home. "At least it was a Jewish stalker," smiles the 22-year-old. "I’d rather have a Jewish stalker than a shiksa stalker."

A MENSCH HE IS: "Judaism is a very big deal. Before I went to college [at Temple University, for one semester] I went on Birthright Israel," says Nudge. "As I get older, I just feel a bigger connection to it."

FOR ADDED MEASURE: "Oy vey. You can throw one of those into the interview."
