Full Metal Jackie will light it up with two hours of listener requests on “Freedom of Choice,” featuring maximum metal from listener requested favorites and bands including Testament, Slayer, Metallica, Megadeth, Children of Bodom, Lamb of God, and many, many, more! You supply the beer and brats, and Jackie will supply all the metal you need to rock!

Full Metal Jackie Radio is two hours of fist pounding metal from the frontlines, hosted by renowned metal radio personality Full Metal Jackie, featuring regular interviews with many of metal’s biggest names, past and present. Visit www.fullmetaljackieradio.com.

Full Metal Jackie began her radio career as a DJ at WSOU Pirate Radio, Seton Hall University’s legendary metal station. Instantly addicted to the excitement of life behind the mic, she graduated Pirate Radio (and Seton Hall), to become an on-air personality at WHTG (Neptune, NJ), and later at
WDHA (Dover, NJ).

Jackie set her sights on bigger markets (and warmer climates!), making her way west to California’s gold coast. After a short stint as on-air host at San Diego’s 94.9 KBZT, Jackie landed the opportunity she had been working toward since her early WSOU days: host and producer of her own (and L.A.’s only) commercial heavy metal radio show, CHAOS on Indie 103.1. Today, Full Metal Jackie’s show can be heard in syndicated markets throughout the United States
