Charlie Slowes, the iconic voice synonymous with Washington Nationals baseball, has been captivating millions of sports enthusiasts since 2005. Transitioning from play-by-play announcements to joining forces with fellow veteran broadcaster Dave Jageler, Slowes has become the voice of the Nationals, commentating on every game for Washington D.C. FM station The Fan. Notably, he etched his voice into history as he recounted the Washington Nationals’ triumphant World Series win in 2019, a momentous occasion that marked the end of a 95-year drought for a local team clinching a national title.

Originally from The Bronx and a graduate of New York’s Fordham University, Slowes embarked on his radio journey nearly a thousand miles away in St. Louis, Missouri, where he joined the KMOX station. His illustrious career spans stints with industry giants such as CBS, ESPN, NBC, and Westwood One. In the mid-1980s, he diversified his commentary portfolio by lending his voice to NBA games for the Washington Wizards, later transitioning to Major League Baseball with the Tampa Bay Devil Rays before the Washington Nationals beckoned.

While Slowes has lent his voice to various MLB teams, including the New York Mets and Baltimore Orioles, his enduring success and the fruitful partnership with Jageler during more than 15 years with the Nationals reflect a career at its zenith. As the Nationals continue to thrive, so does Slowes, ensuring his place as a legendary figure in the world of sports broadcasting.
