In this episode of Driftwood Conversations, I sit down with Jef Harmatz—news director and morning show co-host at Z107.7 in Joshua Tree. Many of you know Jef as the quick wit behind your morning news, but his creative life extends far beyond radio. He’s been a cartoonist, a cook, and now a podcaster in his own right.
Our conversation weaves through art, humor, and the anxiety of making a living as a creative person. Jef reminds us that the value of creative work isn’t about chasing perfection—it’s about showing up for the process itself. From comics to hot dogs to community radio, his story is a reminder that creativity lives not in the product, but in the act of making.
