Sunni Puric: From War Torn to Washington

Sunni Puric works weekdays apart of the Joe Clair Morning Show on
Rhythmic/CHR radio WGPC 95.5FM. Her journey to radio is unlike
any other. This marks the first time I have asked what it was
like spending your teenage years in a refugee camp in Bosnia.
While the world saw a picturesque Yugoslavia during the 1984
Sarajevo Winter Olympics, it was 12 years later that th country
fell into civil war. Sunni was open about sharing her times in
the camp, and about her family's pathway to America.


In this episode, we spoke about moving from Bosnia to Hamtramck,
Michigan where she caught the radio bug listening to WJLB in
Detroit. learned English watching Mama's Family, and found her
way into WJLB as an intern at the age of 18. Sunni moved to Miami
to work at Power 96, then went to New York before landing in the
midday spot at WGPC and then on to the morning show with Joe
Clair and Guy Lambert. Sunni also does a weekly hit with Fox 5,
and is great Twitter and Instagram follow.


The Washington Post wrote a very extensive piece on Sunni back in
2014.
