The tight-knit communities of Young and Versailles, Kentucky, along with the wider online radio world, are mourning the sudden loss of Robert “DjRob Slob” Sloboden, the beloved Program Director at 1StopRadio 85.9 FM. News of his passing has sent waves of grief through listeners who tuned in not just for music, but for his familiar, welcoming presence.
DjRob Slob was far more than a playlist curator. As the Program Director of 1StopRadio, he was the architect of the station’s sound and soul. His deep knowledge of music, from classic rock and blues to local bluegrass and emerging indie artists, made his shows a journey. Listeners felt a personal connection, whether he was sharing a story about a song, cracking a joke, or championing a band from right here in Kentucky.
Born and raised in the area, Rob was a local through and through. His dedication to 1StopRadio 85.9 was rooted in a desire to serve and uplift his community. He used his platform to promote local events, highlight small businesses, and give a voice to area musicians who might not otherwise be heard. The station, under his guidance, became a genuine community hub, a soundtrack for Woodford County and beyond.
Off the air, friends and colleagues remember Rob as generous, quick-witted, and immensely passionate about connecting people through music. His sudden departure leaves a silence that will be hard to fill.
DjRob Slob’s legacy is etched into the airwaves and the hearts of those who heard him. He reminded us of the power of local radio to create community, one song, one laugh, one shared moment at a time. While the booth at 1StopRadio is too quiet now, the music he loved and the community he built will continue to play on in his memory. Our deepest condolences go out to his family, his 1StopRadio family, and his countless listeners.
