Pittsburgh -> Boston -> DC. Jim Lokay's path brought him to the nation's capital about a year ago, but it didn't take him long to be part of our family. After you listen to this episode of 'I Still Have a Keycard,' you'll understand why. As Jim has told our FOX 5 viewers on air before, his dad suffered a major stroke four years ago-- and his family was forever changed. He's shared his story publicly in hopes of helping someone else-- and on the podcast, he tells host Sarah Fraser what it was like from the moment he learned what had happened to his dad. He also recalls the words he said to his father when he wasn't sure what would come next (trust us, you're gonna need the tissues for this).

You know him, love him, and literally wake up with him every morning. But how much do you really know about FOX 5 DC meteorologist TUCKER BARNES? He's got a lot more to talk about than the weather.Tucker sat down with I Still Have a Keycard host SARAH FRASER, and nothing was off limits. He opens up about his love life-- and the woman he's dating who might be a familiar face to FOX 5 viewers (but maybe not the one you think!). He also talks about what he's learned from past relationships, and what his future looks like. Did we mention he has a roommate?!? Don't miss this!

He's a guy who, as he'll tell you, always wants to be where the action is. Makes sense, especially since he's a reporter. But because of what he does, there's a lot you probably don't know about what makes TOM FITZGERALD who he is. Enter SARAH FRASER. On this episode of I Still Have a Keycard, she chats with the man we lovingly refer to as FITZ about the best story he's ever told (which also happens to be the worst story he's ever been faced with telling); politics and the craziness that is the 2016 presidential race.

His path to the anchor desk on FOX 5 DC was like no other. If you're already a TONY PERKINS fan, you might know he actually started out doing something COMPLETELY DIFFERENT than news: comedy!

She's your favorite weather woman-- but maybe we should call her Wonder Woman instead. You'd be hard-pressed to find anyone who DOESN'T like SUE PALKA, and in this episode of I Still Have a Keycard, you'll learn there's a lot you don't know about her. As she tells host Sarah Fraser, Sue was a female breadwinner long before it was a thing. She reveals what it was like when SHE took the lead and her incredible husband Joe took over raising their two beautiful daughters instead-- and how long it was before he would admit it was the right move to stay in DC for her career. She also talks candidly about being a woman in a male-dominated field-- and tells the story about that one time she realized she was breaking ground in the world of weather (hint: WHITE HOUSE).

If there's a single word to describe FOX 5 News anchor SHAWN YANCY, you might say it's STRONG. Just listen to this episode of 'I Still Have a Keycard' and you'll understand why. Shawn tells host Sarah Fraser about starting her DC news career covering September 11 (it happened on her second day!) and working with strong anchors every night on FOX 5 News over the years. Outside of work, she talks about raising her three sons in today's world and what she tells them to help keep them safe... Speaking of sons, you might not know that Shawn had her first while she was still in college! She's got great advice for young women who might find themselves in the same situation.

She prides herself on being honest, and it doesn't get much more honest than this. FOX 5 DC Morning Anchor HOLLY MORRIS has experienced a lot in her 18 years in Washington, and some of it you might not believe. In Episode #3 of our podcast, I Still Have a Keycard, Holly tells host Sarah Fraser, "We're going to call this addictions, affairs, and the happily ever after that can result from it." She shares the shocking story of how her first marriage ended in divorce, and how she somehow managed to get through it. In the end, Holly says it was the best thing to ever happen to her-- because it led her to a life that's made her happier than she ever imagined she could be.

Eighteen YEARS. That's a lot when you only planned on three. FOX 5 DC Anchor LAURA EVANS was a west coast girl-- until she found us. She talks about that journey, how she met her sweet husband, their gorgeous family and when you'll ALWAYS catch her with her shoes off.

Strong opinions? That might be an understatement. FOX 5 DC Morning Anchor WISDOM MARTIN will ALWAYS tell it like it is. He talks about getting his start at THE Jackson State University, the road that brought him to DC, and being a (strict?) dad and a devoted husband-- and why his wife absolutely, positively REFUSED to date him at first.

Sarah's had a key card for awhile-- but FOX 5 DC reporter BOB BARNARD has had one for 18 YEARS! And it still works?!

Workplace dating? Yeah... these two know JUST A LITTLE BIT about that. FOX 5 DC Traffic Anchor ERIN COMO and her boyfriend CHRIS SMITH-- who also happens to be Good Day DC's Senior Producer-- dish about their relationship... and how they broke the news of their interoffice romance to the world.
