Herb considers himself luckiest guy in the world to be able to captain one of the greatest rock stations in the USA! That's why the call him "The Captain," right? He's been on the Blimp for over 30 years, and no two days have ever been the same. He calls Blimp listeners “friends I’ve never met,” and it’s true as they share a common bond of living in Maine and a passion for Rock and Roll. He also enjoys working with so many local charities and businesses as well. He's wicked proud to represent Townsquare Media as Vice-Chair of the Board of Directors of the Maine Association of Broadcasters and as a board member of NESCom at Husson University.

You Know It’s Time To Buy A New Truck In Maine When…
I totally understand that we Mainers are frugal. That we will get every nickel out of our homes, our equipment, and our vehicles.

" So I totally empathize with the owner of this vehicle that our heroes at the Maine State Police pulled over this week.
Maine Has More “Karens” Per Capita Than Just About Anywhere Else in the USA
Before I get into it, I would like to show my support to all you women named Karen out there. It used to be easy to be a Karen. I don't think I knew a Karen I didn't like.
