A 98.5 The Sports Hub rising star who has been floated as a contender for the “Toucher and Rich” host opening has interviewed for the highly coveted job, according to The Boston Herald.
Kendra Middleton, who makes regular appearances on the morning show, confirmed on Wednesday that she interviewed for the open position.
Longtime host Rich Shertenlieb left “Toucher and Rich” last month after host Fred Toucher signed a multiyear extension to stay with the morning show.

“I think I got a courtesy interview, so yes,” Middleton responded. “I think because I applied, they brought me in, which was really nice.”
Felger asked why she thought it was just a courtesy interview.
“Just because I think that I’m young and new,” Middleton responded, later adding, “I think (Program Director) Rick (Radzik) took me very seriously. It’s just I think that there’s probably someone who, I don’t know, I think that I’m qualified. It’s just I haven’t been here very long, so I don’t know.”
Felger again asked if she thought she was a serious candidate. “I would love to be. I just, I don’t know,” Middleton responded.
Jim Murray, also known as “Big Jim” who’s the third chair on “Felger and Mazz,” had been floated as a possible replacement for Shertenlieb.
Felger on a previous Off-Air Show had asked the fan favorite if he was interested in the morning show opening, and Murray vowed that he was “100% not interested.”
A top name being mentioned as a replacement on the morning show has been Rob “Hardy” Poole, who’s on the midday 98.5 show “Zolak and Bertrand.” Hardy has been called a good fit for the morning show with his production work and music background.
