Hello I am Erin McCarty! I am originally from Baton Rouge and I am a huge LSU fan. Geaux Tigers! I now call Shreveport home and have enjoyed working in radio for over 40 years. You can hear me doing the news on several of our stations each day. To hear more from you will need to tune into KEEL. I am half of the KEEL Morning Show team with Mike Martindale. Every weekday morning, we cover the hottest topics that impact our local, national and global communities. I am a proud mother of two sons. My oldest served 4 years in the Marines and came home to get his college degree and is now back in the military. My youngest son is still serving in the Marines.
