South Florida radio listeners are familiar with the comedy production personality formerly known as Boca Brian from The Neil Rogers Show. The phenomenal radio powerhouse that maintained double digit ratings in the South Florida market (ZETA-4 FM, WIOD, and WQAM) for over twenty years.

“Boca” was nationally syndicated by ABC Radio in the 1990's and provided the innovative comedy and multifaceted production, including voicing, singing, and creating music for a wide range of observational material.

Few were aware that the“Voices” behind the comedy bit microphone were that of Boca Britany.

An accomplished transgender individual with an extensive broadcasting background and outgoing personality, Boca has been living a full time transgender life for well over ten years. Her experience offers a unique perspective on transgender life with a sense of humor and fun.

The only “genuine” transgender radio show host on the air, Boca Britany served as Transgender Liaison for the Florida Atlantic University College of Medicine Cultural Correctness and Standardized Patient Program; Communications Director for the Broward County Department of Health STD Prevention Program Office; and a committee member for Practicing Physician symposiums.

Boca Britany's mission is to undo the damage of media typecasting which has contributed to the fear and misunderstanding of the mainstream public toward transgender individuals. She believes acceptance can be achieved by shedding light on responsible transgender individuals who are leading fulfilling and successful lives.

 

Love from your host and hostess
