Longtime GLT listener Michael Hill is from the Peoria, IL area. He got his start in radio by creating a weekly technology podcast with two friends from high school. The show made its way to the airwaves from 2012-2015 on WAZU. He started working for GLT in 2014 as a news reporter, working for a time as an on-air announcer on the weekends.  He finds politics fascinating and loves to hear all sides of an issue. He will graduate in May from Illinois State University with a bachelor's degree in Political Science. He also enjoys photography, amateur radio, cooking, repairing and building computers, and fixing electronics.
