Housh graduated from Downs High School in 2002 and received her bachelor's degree in mass media advertising from Washburn University in Topeka in 2006. She then worked at WIBW-TV in Topeka before moving back and opening a 2nd Becker Autos location in Beloit. Lydia then joined in ownership with her parents, Alvin and Deb Becker and husband Blake Housh to form Becker Autos & Trailers in Beloit. They were open for over 16 years in Beloit, when they decided it was time to scale back. This January, Blake and Lydia added Lazy H Auto to their lakeview campground just across from Glen Elder State Park off Hwy 24 and 128 west of Glen Elder. "I won't be taking on this role at the station alone. I suspect you will see a lot of involvement from my husband and others helping with this venture, too. I wouldn't know what to do if we weren't busy! Luckily, we have a lot of support from our friends and family in all we do. I think with a little organization, a positive attitude and a desire to get more local involvement back to the station, it will be a positive change and a lot of fun for everyone."

My name is Mud! No, not Primus' "My Name is Mud"... I'm the original Mud! Married, one kid, one 9-pound Poodle, a self-proclaimed foodie, ice cream-aholic, Chinese food aficionado, Italian and Indian food lover, coffee swiller, music-lover and an obsessed New York Mets fan! I grew up in the New York metropolitan area and made my way down to Miami, Florida to attend The University of Miami. After graduation, I took the show to a tiny New Jersey town where I was named Mud because of my strong coffee brew and addiction to the java.

Since 1983, I've been doing radio around the country from Denver to Houston and San Diego to name a few, prior to settling-down here.

My passions range from history and music to animals and the thrill of a good thrift store find. I enjoy fact-based political discussions, target shooting, gardening, and the simple pleasures of cheese dip and moscato. You'll often find me in ripped jeans and boots, sporting a baseball cap, and spending quality time with family.
