Fred Toucher Takes Medical Leave After Listener Saves His Life

Boston radio host Fred Toucher, co-host of “Toucher & Rich,” is taking a break from the airwaves to recover from surgery to repair his voice after a listener put him in touch with a doctor who found some concerning things in his throat. Toucher, who has been battling voice issues on-air for the last couple of months, said that it is possible a listener saved his life by setting up that appointment. He will eventually return to the show and will write for the website in the meantime.
