On this electrifying episode of Behind the Mic with MAB, Amanda Fontaine sits down with Cash Matlock, the award-winning news director who’s shaking up Mississippi media. At just 28, Cash oversees news content for ten radio stations under Digio Strategies, where he blends sharp journalism with cinematic storytelling to deliver news that actually connects.
From earning the 2024 MAB Radio Rookie of the Year title to dominating the 2025 awards circuit with first-place wins in Breaking News and Severe Weather Coverage, Cash isn’t just making headlines—he’s rewriting how they’re made. He’s also the mind behind the Queen City Newsfeed, a digital news platform that exploded to over 27,000 followers in its first year.
Amanda dives deep into his journey from small-town reporter to multimedia powerhouse, his bold approach to community storytelling, and the passion driving his mission to modernize local journalism for the next generation.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone who believes the future of news should be just as dynamic as the people it serves.
