Lin Brehmer started a career in radio in January 1977. His first gig as a disc jockey was at WQBK-FM in Albany, New York, where he picked the moniker “The Reverend of Rock and Roll.” Brehmer quit his post as music director at WQBK after seven years and relocated to Chicago to work for WXRT starting in October 1984.

Brehmer worked on WXRT for over three decades, the majority of which he spent as a morning DJ before shifting to middays in 2020.

His “Lin’s Bin” segments, in which he answered a listener’s query while weaving prose with his encyclopedic knowledge of music and popular culture, are probably best remembered.

“Lin’s Bin” featured both serious and humorous moments.
