In the 1980s and 1999s, Robin Jordan was a household name in the Mining City.

Most, though, knew her by her maiden name, Robin Taylor, or her nickname, “The Robinator.” She was the smooth-sounding professional between songs on Y95, which later became KBMR.

That station was one of several in the Mining City where Robin’s voice was heard. She started at Tech’s KMSM, and she worked for KXLF radio and KBOW.

Robin was a 1977 graduate of Butte High School and a 1981 graduate of the University of Montana. She was the daughter of an English teacher and a music teacher, and she took much from both of her parents into her career.

While Robin hasn’t been on the airwaves in many years, she is still very much a part of the community, albeit in a more behind-the-scenes fashion. She is a writer and editor of The Butte Weekly, a newspaper that, among many other things, keeps a keen eye on the local government.

Listen in to hear how Robin kind of accidentally got in the radio business as a student at Montana Tech. Listen as she talks about her many stops along the way, and listen to hear some stories about the many characters she worked with over the years. She worked with the likes of Shag Miller, Ron Davis, Connie Kenney, Arch Ecker and Rick Foote, just to name a few.

Listen in to hear that Robin still has that smooth voice.
