The Pulse

Patrick Monahan is an American singer-songwriter, musician, and actor, best known as the lead vocalist for the band Train. He has collaborated with multiple artists, and recorded a solo album titled Last of Seven.

Jim Ryan is a big fan of lots of music styles, he has enjoyed doing interviews for the Pulse with Ed Sheeran, Pink, Kelly Clarkson, Coldplay, and many others. When he’s not on the air, you’ll most likely find him on the golf course, or working and relaxing in his backyard. He and his wife Kathleen are Disney fanatics, and live “down” the shore in New Jersey.

Kim Ashley’s career as a country DJ began in Venice, FL before going on to Lakeland, FL, Atlanta, NYC, Dallas, and finally the world on SiriusXM! Ashley describes country music as one of the greatest joys of life because it’s about OUR lives, and weaves a common thread between us that you can’t find anywhere else.

Rich Davis is a music and pop culture aficionado of the 2K decade, so join him every afternoon to reminisce about bootcut jeans, StarTAC phones, dial-up internet, MySpace, and more. In addition to 2000s pop music, Davis loves binge watching every TV show possible with his wife Sara, daughter Emmy, and French bulldog Piper. He wastes his time rooting for the Mets and 49ers, and trying out the latest workout fad (currently Orange Theory). Hear Rich on Pop2K and The Pulse.

Ron Ross is a native Marylander who actually remembers playing records at his first radio job in the ’80s (!!). He enjoys cooking, running marathons, seventeenth-century Puritan literature, and lying in his bio. But he really does consider Kelly Clarkson one of his favorite artists, and thinks he shares a special bond with P!nk because they have the same birthday. Weirdo.

Karen Carson 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.
