Thank you for tuning into another episode of "Your Best You - Starlight Spotlight." This week's episode features Hudson Valley-based Broadcasting Veteran Rick Zolzer aka Zolz. Zolz is probably most known as the Voice of the Hudson Valley Renegades fro 28 years. We discuss his career in radio, in sports, and with the Hudson Valley Renegades. We dive into how baseball and the airwaves have evolved over the decades, and the legacy that Zolz is leaving behind with his craft.

"I have been lucky enough to get paid to things that used to get me tossed out of class in high school. All of the many jobs I do have to do with entertaining people...Large amounts at the same time and I wouldn't change it! I can not imagine going to work at a job I hate….Like many of my friends do..They may make more money but I am having waaaaaay more fun…”Because Fun is Good”!

Specialties: Being able to Promote and Brand like P.T. Barnum has kept me ahead of the curve in everything I have done in the last 25 years. I can make something small and insignificant seem like something you have to be a part of…..I just don’t think outside the box I hate the box and I wouldn’t be caught dead in it. Top it all of with a bizarre sense of humor."
