Cue “Barbie Girl” by Aqua, cause Barbi Jo is a Barbie girl, living in a Rhody world! She’s a lifelong Rhode Islander, proud Italian Johnston-ite, and just like the doll herself, a fashionista!

You can find her sitting at a bar on Federal Hill, workin’ on her fitness, or traveling anywhere with warm weather & oppressive heat!

Barbi’s entire career has been spent at PRO-FM! For 20+ years, she lived & breathed promotions planning events for Justin Bieber, Dua Lipa, Selena Gomez, Sabrina Carpenter, & her “fake boyfriend” Ed Sheeran just to name a few! She worked her way from college intern to promotions princess to on-air talent! In 2024, she transitioned from week-nights to mid-days!

Barbi Jo loves spending mid-days with you, 10am-3pm, on the station she grew-up listening to!

5x FACTS:

1. It’s no gimmick… Barbi is my REAL name and the doll vibes are real! Seriously, you should see my Barbie Doll collection!

2. In a Barbi Jo look-alike contest, the prize would be a bottle of Grey Goose & a bottle of the House dressing from Twin Oaks! PS. Try the Terriyaki Tenderloin!

3. Who needs a Ken, when you have Ed? My fake boyfriend Ed Sheeran & I first met July 26, 2013 at our PRO-FM acoustic showcase at Gillette Stadium. He sang. I swooned. The obsession started! End game.

4. If you like the way I talk on the radio, just wait till you see me talk with my hands… I’m Italian!

5. I graduated Salve Regina University in Newport summa cum laude… I really mean it when I say the title of my future memoir is “Blonde not Stunad!”
