Lin Brehmer

On-Air: Monday – Friday 5:30-10am
Host: Lin’s Bin

Nothing much survives from Brehmer’s high school years except rumor and innuendo. He distinguished himself as the starting pitcher for the varsity baseball team from 1969 to 1972. He also spent winters in a Kelly-green Speedo as a member of the McBurney swim team. All pictures were destroyed by the government. [Read Lin's Full Bio]

Lin’s Bin: 24

The eight days that we’ve seen of this man’s life have been more stressful than most of our entire lifetimes. Jack Bauer is set to return for a truncated season of 24. Out of all scenario’s we’ve seen Bauer in, it must be asked if it’s possible for anyone besides a small fraction of people to relate to Jack Bauer? Rest easy, we all have a little Jack Bauer in us, even if you don’t know it.
