Radio Show Now Part of Danny Lipford Brand

Danny's home advice can now be heard on the radio! The syndicated show Homefront and its website homefront.com have recently become a part of the Danny Lipford brand. It's a return to his roots for Danny, whose media career began as a teenage DJ for a local radio station.

During the two-hour weekly show, Danny dispenses advice to homeowners, shares his stories from the world of remodeling, and interviews guests and experts in the industry. In fact, you never know who will drop by to share the microphone, a laugh or two, and some home insights as well.

Homefront was founded by the late Don Zeman who hosted the show for 13 years.
