Kopper grew up in Washington, DC as the youngest of four children in a family that regularly discussed politics at the table. In 1985 he moved to Pembroke, Massachusetts where he now lives with his wife and children. "People love to express their opinions," Kopper says, "and I am here to give them that opportunity. To give them a voice."
"I grew up listening to WBZ talk shows on my crystal radio," Kopper continued. "There was Jerry Williams and Gene Burns on RKO."My brother had an alternative rock show during the 60s and 70s on WBCN 104.1 in the morning."
When asked why he prefers the talk show genre, Kopper answered, "I like it because there's a lot to talk about, and I know that people are more interested in politics than they realize. It affects their lives more than entertainment or sports ever could or will."
