Justice, whose real surname is Logiudice, became Tucson’s first FM political talker in 2007. In the Twin Cities, he’ll rejoin Andrew Lee, who produced the show here. There, they’ll be on-air partners.

“I’ve been doing it long enough solo,” Justice told me from the road Thursday.

Another Tucson talk-radio partnership is breaking up. Joe Higgins is leaving “Wake Up Tucson,” the morning show he hosted with Chris DeSimone for more than seven years on KVOI, 1030 AM. Higgins will be pursuing other ventures, leaving the 6-9 a.m. slot to DeSimone, who will bring in guests for up to an hour in the third-hour slot.

Justice and Higgins have been important enough for some local Republicans that party chairman Bill Beard put out a farewell statement, thanking them for their contributions.

Another well-known voice, Dan Kruse, is also leaving the air this week. Since 2010, Kruse has been the local host of national news show “All Things Considered” every afternoon on KUAZ, 89.1 FM.

Kruse, an ethnomusicologist and jack of all trades in the realm of performance and production, is retiring and will return to those pursuits. He’ll be replaced in the afternoons by current morning host John Weaver.
