Farewell and Best of Luck to Moe Lauzier

Just to step away from restaurants for a minute: For those who grew up listening to Boston radio, a true radio icon has done his last show (for now, anyway) after 25 years on the air in Boston. Moe Lauzier announced this morning on WRKO that he was being let go from the station.

This undoubtedly will be sad news to many radio listeners, as he was a favorite of so many WRKO listeners since the early 1980s. His sense of humor, eloquence, and keen mind made him stand out among the increasingly generic radio environment that afflicts Boston and so many other cities these days.

At this point, it is unknown who or what will replace Lauzier in the Saturday morning slot.

Best of luck to Mr. Lauzier in any future endeavors, and perhaps we will once again hear him on the air on another Boston radio station someday soon.
