KDWB/Minneapolis adds Vont Leak and Bailey Hess to “The Dave Ryan Show,” weekdays from 5:30-10am, effective immediately. Vont Leak joined KDWB last August for nights. He’s 2023 graduate of William Patterson University where he served as the Program Director for WPSC. Hess is a Minnesota native who grew up listening to “The Dave Ryan Show” and is the Speech and Debate Team Head Coach at Mounds View High School. She also recently worked at the Minnesota Historical Society and is a graduate of St. Cloud State University.

“To get an opportunity to be on The Dave Ryan Show is a blessing and truly, an anomaly that I don’t take for granted. Since joining 101.3 KDWB nine months ago, I’ve been welcomed with open arms so I’m excited to officially move to mornings and wake up with the Twin Cities,” said Vont Leak.

“As a Minnesota native, Dave Ryan’s voice has graced my ears for the last 30 years, so I’m beyond jazzed to join the amazing crew at KDWB. I can’t wait to bring my quirky enthusiasm and unique perspective to the team and introduce a lot of what’s great about the Twin Cities to the Morning Show,” added Hess.

“Dave Ryan has consistently revolutionized The Dave Ryan Show, making it a hallmark of the Twin Cities. His knack for spotting and nurturing top-tier talent is unmatched. With the exciting addition of Vont and Bailey to the morning lineup, we’re setting the stage for a fresh, dynamic evolution of the show. Tune into 101.3 KDWB to experience the next chapter of morning radio with us,” said Program Director Rich Davis.
