About Freddy Mac

Heyooo, I’m Freddy Mac, the newest member of the Q102 family! You can catch me in the afternoons from 3-7pm with Natalie Jones.

I was born and raised in Maryland, but I moved to Cincinnati most recently from Roanoke, VA. I’m married to my wife Katie. We currently live in Montgomery, and still learning our way around Ohio. We welcomed our baby boy in a December! I’ve never been more in love!

I’m one of those weirdos that always knew I wanted to be in broadcasting since I was about 10 years old, when I got the chance to do the morning announcements.

I’ve been doing this radio thing since I was a freshman in college. When I first attempted to volunteer at the college station, I somehow forgot to do the follow up paperwork, which resulted in an ‘F’ on my transcript–but that’s a story for another time. Radio has introduced me to some really cool people, and taken me to some awesome places, but I’m so happy to be in my dream job here in Cincinnati!

I enjoy: Pizza! Buying new shoes (especially Nikes and Jordans). Playing basketball. Going to the movies. Trying new restaurants. Playing drums (got my first drum set when I was 2!) Sitting under a HUGE umbrella at the beach. Live music. DJ weddings. Bourbon. Tequila. Driving on a road trip. Tearing up the dance floor. Quality time with family. Having drinks on a patio. Travel. Community service. Brunch (with bottomless mimosas). Binging shows on Netflix, and the occasional cigar.

Outside of being on the radio, you can catch me DJ’ing just about any event under the sun, especially weddings! I have always loved all types of music, and seeing smiling faces when people are enjoying themselves on the dance floor. If you need a DJ/MC for anything, hit me up!

I love connecting with people on the air and meeting listeners! If you see me out and about, be sure to say hey– I can’t wait to meet you! Email me anytime or connect on social!

About Natalie

“We have plenty of time to grow up” – me 😉

Well hello, and welcome to my bio. I’m Natalie, West-Side-born Cincy native making the best out of every day and having as much fun as possible. Please let’s go to yoga, get outside, and push some limits together. ☺️

I am the middle of 5 children raised the classic Cincinnati way: Catholic schools, parish festivals, and a lot of sports, making me a natural tomboy through and through. I’m single, no kids, but my Aunt Nat genes are strong, as I have 6 nieces, and I love big families.

Growing up in Cincinnati and moving from west to east to Clifton to OTR, I decided after graduating from UC to take my life on the road and see what this world has to offer. I ended up on the west coast in a life full of performance, stand-up comedy, outside adventure, sports, and a little bit of volunteer radio. Which I loved but always thought something was missing.

So, when I decided to come home and be with family, I was elated to find a whole new meaning of family here at Q102. I found what I have been missing. It’s just an honor to speak to my hometown every day. ☺️ I really feel like I am member of a bigger team just doing my part. And my part is to make it fun! It’s my favorite thing in life, to bring joy to others, I think because it brings me just as much joy. ☺️

When I am not in the studio you can find me in a group fitness class (I love exercising and fitness more than anything!!), outside, traveling, downtown at a happening, or with my family. Lol. I am always on the go and looking forward to the next best thing to find and tell everyone about.
