Here's something you need to know about Jay Richardson. He's a really nice guy. Know what else? He's a true empathetic soul who cares. Which is why he always feels a little uneasy about the present and especially the future. However, we spoke a lot about the past in this episode.

Jay is the afternoon drive host at Power 97 in Winnipeg, which is where he started the on-air portion of his radio career back in 2007. One day while worrying about the future, he came into my office and we can up with a plan that would include him being an on air personality. It wasn't long before he worked at two other radio companies, a credit union and as a salesman outside radio before return back to where he felt most comfortable - on air. Jay has also been the voice of the Winnipeg Jets inside the building. Yes, that's him announcing all the penalties, goals, assists and in-house announcements at Bell MTS Place. It's a job he has had since the days of the Manitoba Moose and we spent a fair amount of time talking about what it was like to have the Winnipeg Jets come back in 2011. Jay took a leave of absence last November from both his roles at Power 97 and the Winnipeg Jets and shares where he is at and what he has been up to.
