Frank Barnett
Frank is a native Houstonian. He relocated to Baton Rouge to attend LSU where he earned a communications degree. After working in the film industry for three years as a production assistant, he decided to make the switch to radio and could not be happier with his decision.
After getting his start at WRKF as an intern in 2013, Frank is now a member of the WRKF news team, and hosts Morning Edition.
He enjoys reading (especially Stephen King and Ray Bradbury), fishing, and of course, watching movies.
