Episode 2: From Intern to Icon: Hannah Lane's Journey in Country Radio

Welcome to Behind the Mic with MAB, where we dive deep into the stories behind the voices you hear on the airwaves. I’m Amanda Fontaine, Executive Director of the MAB and your host.  Today, I have a very special guest— Miss Hannah Lane! You’ve heard her on US96.3’s Nate & Traci Morning Show, and she’s also a powerhouse content creator shaping the sound and style of radio in Mississippi.  On top of that, she’s the host of her own amazing podcast, bringing fresh perspectives and great conversations to the mic. But that’s not all—Hannah is also the very first mentee of the MAB’s Mentoring and Inspiring Women in Radio program, and I am so honored to be her mentor. Her journey in the industry is nothing short of inspiring, from interning at 100.7 The Tiger to earning a key role on a popular morning show and recently adding the distinction of being one of Radio Ink’s 30 and Under Superstars. In this episode, we’ll explore Hannah’s journey—how she went from an eager intern to a dynamic voice in country radio, the challenges she’s faced, and what fuels her passion for connecting with audiences. Plus, we’ll talk about social media’s role in radio and her advice for aspiring broadcasters. So, if you’ve ever dreamed of being on the air, or you just love a good behind-the-scenes story, you don’t want to miss this. Let’s jump in!   This episode is produced by Daniel Anderson at Audio Alchemy Productions.
