Marty Dees - Owner/Business Manager & mid-morning host

Marty has worked in radio since 1980 and is recognized as the voice of The Country Store and What's Cookin'?. When she's not working as WZEP Business Manager (which takes in just about anything), Marty loves traveling, gardening, reading a good novel, and catching up with her two daughters and four grandchildren.
