I don't recall Fisher ever hosting that show on WUMB.
The longtime former host of "Quiet Storm" on WUMB was 
Ken Yarbrough, who has more recently been active in 
Boston politics as a legislative writer for the city
and the chief information officer for city councilor 
Charles Yancey, among other jobs and positions.

When Yarbrough and "Quiet Storm" were let go, it not 
only consolidated the folk format, it also eliminated 
a DJ salary. Ken was not replaced by anyone. The folk
format now goes live until 7 PM weeknights (midnight
with specialty shows on Saturday nights only), after
which the automation system takes it with syndicated
folk and roots music programming mainly from NPR and 
PRI, and other recorded archival or special programs.
