"Southside" Steve Rickman

I’ve been in Radio for 30 years in Atlanta starting on WRAS Album 88 at Georgia State University and then moving to 96ROCK! I was on The Christoper Rude and The Wake Up Crew Morning Show and then The Regular Guys doing mornings until 2004. Started on ROCK100.5 in 2008 and worked from the first day 'till the last day in 2022.

 Throughout my career, I have let three generations live vicariously through me. Like sitting in every seat in The Omni, living on a Billboard for 7 days, crash landing in a Turner Broadcasting Anniversary Hot Air Balloon, dating ALOT, doing bits like "In My Stall", "Homeless Karaoke", "Being Married by Atlanta", and giving my Ford Mustang and Harley Davidson on- air. Owning Southside Steve’s  Smokey and The Bandit Bar in Mcdonough, GA for five years and doing mornings on ROCK 100.5 - not a good idea if you like sleep!  I was 400 feet away when the bomb went off in Centennial Park and broadcast as a witness of the tragic event for three hours after on 96 ROCK and still can’t believe what I saw. I’ve enjoyed working for Hooters hosting Bikini Contests, and the Nationals in Miami and Vegas, doing four promotions a week for 15 years working with Coors, Miller Lite, and Budweiser all over the Atlanta Metro! I am blessed that listeners have enjoyed the moments and the shows/stations I’ve been on. I love meeting those who have listened and enjoyed your stories of growing up in Georgia with me.
