He has also held a market manager position with Seven Mountains Media in State College and was the voice behind the Radio Shop Talk podcast.
Bedell commented, “Ever since honeymooning in Camden 32 years ago, my wife and I have discussed ending up on the Midcoast of Maine. When I reached out to Faith Francis at Binnie Media and had conversations with her, Massimo Rosati, Jon Sundberg, and founder Bill Binnie, I knew this would be a great fit for me. I’m so excited to be moving to the Midcoast and joining the team at Binnie Media!”
