Radio Brings It Into Focus
While Aparicio’s radio credits are long, he also dabbled in television. In 1997, he landed a national TV gig hosting a pigskin prognostician show with the NFL Hall-of-Famer Lawrence Talor and Buddy Ryan. Aparicio remembers television as a lot of fun, but there wasn’t enough magic, “There’s something special about the energy and urgency of radio. We create images, a mental picture for people. I guess it’s the difference between reading a book and seeing a movie. I for the book every time.”
Don’t Judge A Man By His Name

He’s attended baseball games in Cuba and Venezuela, cricket in Australia, soccer London, squash in Jamaica, the Frenchat Roland Garros, and bullfights in Madrid, Aparicio is at home anywhere they play games!
“Nasty” Nestor Aparicio
Still a Kid at Heart
“Nasty” Nestor Aparicio was born for sports. At a very early age, he learned to read by reading the sports section. Before he could tie his sneakers, he could name all the Orioles and Colts players. Before he could multiply or divide, he was doing sports talk with his dad.
It’s no great shock that Aparicio, a cousin of baseball Hall-of-Famer Luis Aparicio, grew up to host a wildly successful sports talk show, always asking the tough questions, hitting the hot topics and making sure the fans have fun. Having a great time is a big part of Aparicio’s show. Maybe because he’s living his dream, or maybe because he genuinely respects his radio fans, Aparicio’s developed a high-energy on-air style that is dynamic yet gentlemanly. In his own words Aparicio says, “I know it may not be cool, but I believe you don’t have to be a jerk to be successful in sports talk. This is sports – it should be fun, the way my dad taught me when I was a kid.”
Born For The Job
In his hometown of Dundalk, MD, Aparicio’s dad taught him to love sports. Soon enough Aparicio learned that sports was not only fun to talk about, but also to write about, and by the time Aparicio hit 17 he was working for The Baltimore Evening Sun as a sports and rock music writer. After graduating from the University of Baltimore, Aparicio moved into radio, serving as color commentator for AHL Baltimore Skipjack games and eventually earning his own talk show covering local and national sports. By 1998, Aparicio had his own station – Baltimore’s WNST-AM, Nasty 1570 Sports.
