First of all, Franny Thomas would like to set the record straight, as you can see her first name is spelled with a Y. After a brief fling in the Midwest, Franny has returned to her hometown of Washington, DC specifically to work for SIRIUS. When not hanging out at The Loft (usually alphabetizing stacks of CDs), Ms. Thomas can be found trolling the greater D.C. area for live music, hiking to the top of mountains and searching the world for the perfect chocolate chip cookie. Send Franny an Email.

A bona-fide radio legend and one of a handful of DJs celebrated in the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame and Museum, “Megless” actually went to school to be a veterinarian, but after getting a gig at a college radio station, she was hooked. 30 years in radio later, we can see her instincts were spot on.
