Ladies & Gentlemen, Ron Harlow

Ron Harlow is a Northwest Indiana original—radio voice, improv ringleader, and community connector. He’s best known for The Afternoon Fix on WJOB 1230 AM / 104.7 FM, where he’s interviewed local newsmakers, artists, and neighbors with equal parts curiosity and humor. Off-air, Ron builds his own indie media projects, including the Make My Day show, which blends human-interest stories, Region history, and the kind of unscripted moments that only happen when the mics are hot.

He’s helped grow a welcoming scene where first-time performers and seasoned pros share the same tiny black-box stage…and the same big laughs. Whether he’s behind the board at WJOB, hosting Make My Day, or workshopping a new bit at Beatniks, Ron’s through-line is simple: shine a light on local people doing interesting things, and have some fun while you do it.
