The Pulse

Jim got into radio because of a strong aversion to "digging ditches or wearing suits and ties." And it's worked out well... When not focused on his boat, Jim will tell you about the time Alanis Morissette rushed him out of a backstage bathroom, and when he hung with Matchbox 20 on their tour bus.

Karen loves all of the different faces in the building at SiriusXM: from Howard Stern to Sheryl Crow. She also loves the freedom to talk about whatever she wants. Her other favorite things in life are her son and twin daughters, with kickboxing taking a close third.

The best playlist of pop and rock hits from today infused with the right amount of back then. Hear artists like Kelly Clarkson, Dave Matthews Band and many more.

Ron attended the University of MD, but note the term "attend," not "finished." Hey, radio called. Ron kinda plays drums and guitar, can tell you everything about Spider-Man and Batman, watched "Lost" with his DVR to catch every detail and wishes they'd remake "The Fairly OddParents."

Kim has always had an interest in music and entertainment, from the moment she attended her very first concert (Billy Joel) to interviewing some of her favorite artists (Sheryl Crow, Rob Thomas, Alanis Morissette, Duran Duran, Hootie and the Blowfish) for The Pulse.

Each week the lead singer of Train will take you on a journey of music discovery! Cool, new Pulse music that Pat is really liking!
