Humble and Fred are fiercely independent. They are the original "Life After Radio" personalities, having carved out a significant piece of the media pie for themselves. Back in 2011 they started a podcast and committed to it. (That's important component to their success BTW) They have had stints where they worked in radio for periods of time; including Kingston, Sirius XM for a superb 5 year run, and Funny 820AM in Hamilton up until last month. Through it all, Humble and Fred continue to produce a daily show live (streaming) and on demand. (podcast)In this episode, we will hear how Howard Glassman and Fred Patterson have built the ultimate "Life After Radio" show for themselves. And while they say they have quit radio once and for all, they do appreciate what it has to offer.... when it works for them. You will also hear how they manage the empire, keep the cash flowing and have fun every day.There's also more on our episode page!Thanks also to the people who make this show possible every week including:MegatraxSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Howard Kroeger was there in 2002 when a new radio format was launched in Winnipeg. The program director of Hot AC Q94.3 was apart of the programming team that had recently acquired AC Magic 99.9 from Standard Radio. It was obvious that Magic would no longer be an AC station, but what would it become in Winnipeg's competitive radio market? This is when BOB was born.Classic Hits is now in its 20th year as a radio format; straddling the divide between Boomer and Generation X - the original station is still on the air doing what it has always done with similar imaging and presentation to the original product - with some musical and presentational updates naturally. In this episode we speak to Howard about how the format came together, why Winnipeg was the place to make it happen, and how the format began to spread across North America. We also asked Howard about the other formats he has created including Duke and Hank.By the way, I also pulled out some recent audio from my conversation with "Bad Pete" Marier who was Bob's first morning host in 2002. Hear his story here. There's also a bunch more about the other stuff on our episode page, including the CTV report from 2005 about how the format grew across the continent.Thanks also to the people who make this show possible every week including:PromosuiteJustin Dove at Core Image StudiosMegatraxSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Bob Willette got his start in commercial radio working alongside Humble and Fred at 102.1 The Edge back in the late 90's. He started as an intern but later produced the show and followed them over to the Mix 99.9 in the 2000's. After Humble and Fred had this very strange separation, he was "excused" from his position as producer and went on to work at Proud-FM for nearly 9 years, serving as the program director for the planet's first commercially licensed radio station to serve the LGBTQ Community. This part alone is worth the listen as Bob talks fondly of the radio that was made and said he could easily write a book about it. There were further opportunities at 94.9 The Rock in Oshawa, Bell in Toronto and Kitchener, and now Corus radio in Kingston, Ontario.In this episode, I wanted to know how he continues to persevere in one of the world's most volatile business' which is adversely affect by a pandemic. I also wanted to hear all about "Bob's Basement" which is his new podcast. You can connect to the show below.Bob has teamed up with Toronto Mike for his podcast!

Lisa Guerrero has enough stories from her time at Fox and Monday Night Football to write a book. In fact, that is what she is doing right now. The award winning journalist for Inside Edition has a forthcoming book called Consider this interview to be a prelude to her forthcoming book about her life called Warrior: My Path to Being Brave. It will be released on January 24, 2023. In this episode, Lisa shares the high and low points of her time working in broadcasting; everything from a toxic environment at Fox Sports, to the abusive media criticism as a sideline reporter from Monday Night Football in 2003, where they changed the job description mid-flight. This is a very special episode for me as I have been a fan of Lisa's work dating back to the Best Damn Sports Show Period in the 90's.Today, many people encounter Lisa and her amazing Investigative journalism, whether it is on You Tube, Television or even Twitter where she doesn't hesitate to call out B.S. or remind us that leaving $10 or $20 behind for the house keeping staff after a hotel stay goes a long way to making lives better and being kind.There's lots more Lisa on our episode page.Thanks also to the people who make this show possible every week including:The CHR Prep Service - Click to get a free trial.nLogicMegatrax - Licensed Music for your radio station or podcast production company.For a full transcription, go here and scroll to the bottom.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

For Dahlia, it's more than broadcasting - it is now a mission. She is a social good advocate, talk show host, writer, producer, actress, polyglot, certified personal trainer, and even a professional ping-pong player. She is a woman of many talents. She has recently mainly works as a radio talk show host and has interviewed many famous people such as Oscar winners, Famous Comedians, and Nobel Peace Prize Winners.In this episode, you'll hear Dahlia talk about her experience in getting laid off from Bell Media. She shares the stories about how her show created social change, and the times it didn't. One of the biggest takeaways is how broadcasters fail to recognize the difference between local and locale. Dahlia discusses how she uses different social networks being Facebook and Twitter, and the politician's role in conducting change and how her show is a true fit for Terrestrial Radio.There's more about this episode on our show page!Thanks also to the people who make this show possible every week including:PromosuiteMatt Fogarty VoiceoversJustin Dove at Core Image StudiosMegatraxSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

It's been over three years since we had Steve Goldstein from Amplifi Media on the show. He has an excellent feel for audio and how it is consumed, whether that is podcast, radio, streaming, voice or smart speakers. In particular, I have been fascinated with the advent of the smart speaker. Is it really a device that will save radio? Can it access those 1.8 million podcasts? How much of a game changer is it?In this episode, you'll hear how smart speakers have evolved since the sales explosion of Alexa and Google Home in 2017. You'll find out why podcasts have not found their way onto smart speakers, and how radio has made out with them in the pandemic. We also discuss the difficulties of starting a podcast that doesn't have a point of differentiation.It is always a joy to have Steve on the show to discuss the evolution of audio.There's always more on the episode page including the link to sign up for Steve's awesome Blogstein newsletter.Thanks also to the people who make this show possible every week including:PromosuiteMatt Fogarty VoiceoversJustin Dove at Core Image StudiosMegatraxSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Brooklyn Driediger is the midday and weekend host at Virgin 94.5 in Vancouver. She first caught my attention on social media... her feeds look so clean and the Reels so real. Her show is the same by the way. We spent a Sunday afternoon talking about her radio journey from the British Columbia Institute of Technology to Kelowna where she worked the cruiser, and then back to Vancouver where she worked her way to Virgin radio.In this episode, you'll find out how she wound up taking Radio and Broadcast at BCIT, her reservations about moving away, and what she learned from programming stalwarts like Bob Mills and Curtis Strange. We also got into discussions about the use of social media and why it's becoming more and more a mystery. Brooklyn also evaluated our instagram page which you should be following here. We also talked about thrift shopping and second hand purchases. I might have mentioned a consignment store in Winnipeg and Vancouver called So Over It.
