Bradley Jay is a dynamic broadcaster, digital content creator, travel videographer, and musician with a multifaceted career spanning nearly four decades in the Greater Boston market. As a seasoned on-air music radio personality and talk show host, he is known for his exceptional interviewing skills and his ability to create engaging audio and video content across multiple platforms.

​

Bradley Jay grew up in a New Engand town so small that all eight primary school
grades met in a one room wooden school house. Since there was no high school, kids
had to carpool to the nearest high school, 10 miles away. As an outsider, it was tough to
break into the cool kid cliques. He always felt an outsider.

At age 17 he attended a school for surgical technicians and by age 18 he was working
in a hospital emergency dept, experiencing brutal reality. Later he transferred to the
operating room environment, participating in major surgery, including neurosurgery. After visiting a friend in college and seeing what a sweet life that was, he attended the University Of New Hampshire.

Immediately after graduation he headed to Boston and got a job as a busser at TFI
Friday’s on Newbury Street in Boston. While there he connected with jocks at the
Boston College station, WZBC, which led to his first paid radio gig (five dollars an hour)
at WLYN, which became WFNX. Finally, audition tapes he had been sending to WBCN
landed his first shot at the big-time, on WBCN.

Currently, Bradley is a part-time talk radio host at WBZ NewsRadio 1030 and the creator and host of the Bradley Jay Travel Channel on YouTube, where he shares his adventures in Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Morocco. He’s also a musician, writer, and producer, promoting the recent album, "Hotel Bar"; with the band Bridge Bender. In addition, he hosts the post-punk radio show "Ignore The Machine" on WZBC radio.
 

His radio career includes on-air roles at WBZ NewsRadio1030 and influential rock station
WBCN. He started on the air at WBCN in the eighties and remained on the air until he hosted the final show on the night WBCN went off the air forever. After WBCN, he became a full-time talk show host at WBZ and was part of the Edward R. Murrow Award-winning team for live coverage of the Boston Marathon Bomber manhunt.

Other career highlights include broadcasting from Grammy Awards for 3 years, live broadcasts from Woodstock ’99, Moscow, the Glastonbury Festival in England, and Dublin for St. Patrick’s Day.

Bradley has written three articles The Atlantic Monthly Unbound, including one featuring
popular physicist Brian Greene. You can hear Mr. Jay’s voice on Fatboy Slim’s platinum selling album “You’ve Come A Long Way, Baby." He can also be seen in the Netflix documentary "Trainwreck: Woodstock 99."
