Twin Cities Radio: Mary Lucia Joins Radio K Staff

Mary Kucia

Mary Lucia, a former DJ for The Current, has landed a new gig. She will serve as a program adviser for Radio K, the University of Minnesota station.

Lucia made headlines in April 2022 by resigning from 89.3 The Current over concerns about equity and fair treatment of women at Minnesota Public Radio’s alternative music station. Before her time at The Current, she had previously worked at REV 105 and 1500 KSTP.

In her new position, Lucia will be training the next generation of broadcasters, according to a news release from Radio K, which specializes in independent music.

Her memoir, titled “What Doesn’t Kill Me Makes Me Weirder and Harder to Relate to,” is expected to be released in spring 2025 by the University of Minnesota Press.
