By AccessWDUN Staff

Martha Zoller, the host of WDUN's The Martha Zoller Show, has been named the 2023 Woman of the Year by TALKERS.

According to a news release from TALKERS, Zoller will be presented the Judy Jarvis Memorial Award for Outstanding Achievements in Talk Media by a Woman at TALKERS 2023 on June 2 at Hofstra University on Long Island.

"Martha Zoller has developed a national reputation in the talk media industry as an impeccably reliable observer of the consequential dynamics of Georgia politics from an even-handed, conservative perspective," TALKERS founder Michael Harrison said. "She is respected as a major ‘go-to’ source across the nation and continues to grow as a major political and social thought leader in the Peach State utilizing her local radio platform most effectively. She is truly a gem in this field.”

Zoller has pivoted her career at different times between being a local and regional radio talk show host, a student, a political operative, a congressional candidate and a businesswoman, as well as a wife, mother and grandmother.

She graduated in 1979 from the University of Georgia's Grady College of Journalism with a degree in journalism.

"I know there is no glass ceiling and women can have it all, just not at the same time," Zoller said.

Zoller completed her MA in political science in 2021 at the University of Georgia's School of Politics and International Affairs. Her thesis was on women's electoral success in the GOP. She has also served as the State Director of Field Offices for Gov. Brian Kemp and in senior staff positions with Sen. David Perdue.

"Martha began her talk radio career in 1994 after being a regular caller to WDUN," the release reads. "Her first call to the station was prompted by Hillary Clinton’s lament that 'she could have stayed at home and baked cookies.'"
