Martha Zoller, a prominent Georgia talk-radio host and conservative political strategist whose voice helped shape state politics for more than three decades, has died at 67. A constant presence on North Georgia airwaves and a regular on statewide political panels, she was a familiar part of the daily political conversation for generations of listeners.
According to Fox 5 Atlanta, Zoller died on Monday, June 22. The station highlighted her long-running influence on Georgia’s political discourse and her status as a go-to voice for conservative commentary.
Stepped Back After Heart Attack
Earlier this month, Zoller told her audience she would step away from her daily program on WDUN after what she described as a “stress-related heart attack,” as reported by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. She had planned a final broadcast for Friday, June 26, and expected to stay with the station in a scaled-back role as a political analyst.
Long Career In Georgia Media
Zoller’s media career dates back to the 1990s. She hosted shows on WDUN from 1994 to 2009, returned to the station in 2019, and ran in the 2012 Republican primary for Georgia’s 9th Congressional District, according to industry coverage. Barrett Media chronicled her planned retirement, while MarthaZoller.com lays out decades of radio, television, and column work that helped make her a well-known conservative voice across the state.
Colleagues Remember Her
Colleagues credited Zoller with a rare reach and rapport with her audience. “She has this amazing connection to our listeners,” WDUN program director Bill Maine told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, reflecting on her on-air presence.
No immediate cause of death has been announced. Fox 5 Atlanta reported that a cause of death was not listed, and statements from her family or from the station had not yet been released; additional details on services and tributes are still forthcoming.
