Hi my name is Laura Hardy and I've been in radio since 2006. After spending most of my career in Kentucky, I'm happy to call Michigan my home. I'm mom, dog and cat lover, and wife to a country music influencer. I love movies, playing video games, and spending most of my weekends at concerts all over the country.
