Boston Radio Host: “It Is Possible a Listener Saved My Life.”
Toucher & Rich on 98-5 The Sports Hub is a juggernaut in Boston radio. The duo revealed some troubling news for half of the show’s leads resulting in a period of hiatus for the host in order to go get well.
Rich Shertenlieb read a written statement from radio-partner Fred Toucher on Monday morning chronicling the situation, “My voice has been messed up for a long time. I had been going to doctors and they didn’t seem overly concerned. However, a listener heard me and put me in touch with a doctor he works with. I went and things didn’t go great. He found some things in my throat that concerned him. He told me not to worry because he could fix all of it. Not to sound dramatic but it is possible a listener saved my life by setting up that appointment.”
Fred Toucher revealed that he will be back when the time is right. In the meantime our thoughts and love are with Toucher. Boston radio needs you back, but take care of yourself first.
And to all the radio listeners out there (especially the one who reached out to Fred), thank you for caring.
Sports Hub is a sister station of Country 102.5. Their studio is literally one door over. I have always had mad respect for Toucher & Rich and hope Toucher is 100% again very soon.
And while Toucher is on his hiatus resting up – why not hit one of the 15 Best Beaches in Massachusetts?
