Ryan Filchak is a writer, producer and DJ currently based in Lexington, KY. The show Bumper to Bumper, airing monthly at Beloved during Friday drive time, is an homage to his parents call-in radio show of the same name, which aired Saturday mornings on 1630 WLAP from 2012 - 2018.
Having spent six years in Chicago working in bars and galleries before moving back home to the bluegrass state in 2021, Filchak sees this geographical back-and-forth as the metaphor most applicable to the program’s future content.
Neither fully southern nor midwestern, neither contemporary nor rooted in the past, Bumper to Bumper will switch lanes often and worry about the destination further down the road.
