Fred Toucher, one of the co-hosts of the very popular Marconi Award winning Toucher & Rich radio program on 98.5 The Sports Hub, has been dealing with a challenging bacteria infection that's been affecting his vocal cords. Despite the difficulties that this has presented, Fred has continued to work through the condition and bring his usual humor to the show.

Listeners have been showing their support and admiration for his perseverance or their distaste for his raspy voice. While it has undoubtedly been a difficult time for Fred, his commitment to the show and listeners is a testament to his professionalism and his passion for his work.
