She What?

Unscripted and Loving It: Rhea Hughes

Jessica Downey & Maureen Petrosky

For 28 years, Rhea Hughes has been the co-host of the WIP Morning Show on Sports Talk Radio. She talks to Jess and Maureen about how she broke in, stayed in, and rose to the top of a field long dominated by dudes. (And offers a unique bit of advice on timing big life events along the way.) She gets real about the anxieties of being a working mom, especially in a profession where your replacement is practically standing in your shadow. And she explains why they have such a pull on so many, but you don't need to love sports to love Rhea. She's honest, she's hilarious, and she's 100 percent Philly.
