DLG397 RFB Station Founder Tom Tenney, is here -and it's his birthday!

Tom has been on this show several times. In this session we examine Tom's personal transition from being a workaholic radio station director, living in Bushwick to a more balanced, "emotionally healthy" (Dr. Lisa's judgement!!) adult with a job and a partner living in Washington Heights. Tom was station director from 2015—2021 when he transferred the main responsibilities and Station Director Title to Shane Gasteyer. Shane (check out the episode before this one #396!) has also done a fabulous job of growing the station and keeping the community thriving. If you want to understand Tom's background and how he came to start RFB, please listen to my first ever Dr. Lisa Gives A Shit from with Tom. We do a deep dive into his background in the very first days of RFB in our first and brand new studio in the basement of a bike shop - May 2015. If you'd like to hear Tom reflect on the radio station journey, you can listen to our Dr. Lisa session from last year, May 2025, on the milestone of the stations 10th year anniversary, something back in 2015 would have seemed like a wild pipe dream. And here we are YASSSS!
