Peter Anthony Holder has interviewed a lot of people. From the famous to the quirky, his weekly show "The Stuph File" is syndicated on radio stations around the world and delivered in podcast form every Sunday night. Peter has a new book out now called "Great Conversations: My Interviews with Two Men on the Moon and a Galaxy of Stars." He picked up his interview craft working in radio at Montreal's CJAD. The show later was simulcast on CFRB Toronto before layoffs pushed the show to further syndication and podcast. Being a multi-platform form at 56-58 minutes, it fits nicely onto a radio station with a talk format late at night.

Rob Greenlee is the Head of Content at Spreaker. Recently, I spoke with him on a panel at the Conclave Radio Learning Conference in Minneapolis. At the end of the session, the moderator and panelists all felt we had a few more things we could have gotten to if time had permitted. No worries. That's what podcast is for! Rob and I spoke about some of the things radio does well with podcast, and some of the things they don't do well. We catch up with some of the podcast headlines that have dominated over the past few months, including Apple releasing metrics, Soundcloud's woes, and whether Spotify is a contender or pretender in podcast. I also invite the program director of 93X, Derek Madden and his podcast co-host from KCBS Matt Kolski to talk about their podcast, The Toy Department. This is one of many podcasts "Made by Radio". More have been posted here. http://bit.ly/2w6Lqfl The podcast episode this week is brought to you by NLogic http://go.nlogic.ca/l/130651/2017-04-26/m2xt4 See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Dahlia Kurtz does not do things conventionally. She has worked in radio, written a national newspaper column, nearly went to the Olympics, and spent her first day in radio under water. And she lived to tell me about it. We worked together for a period when she was at 680 CJOB in Winnipeg and I felt the need to catch up with her.

Alan Burns has been consulting radio stations since the mid 80's, and knows a thing or two about change. His company Alan Burns and Associates has had long standing relationships with some of the biggest brands across North America. His company is well known for their "What Women Want" research which always creates more than one a-ha moment upon reveal. Now comes word that headphone listening is more pervasive than ever, which should sound more than a few alarm bells for radio stations who rely on PPM for their results. We discuss that and more.

Ira Haberman is the host of the Sound Podcast and passionate about storytelling, and the Grateful Dead. Put it together, and that's a podcast. He has hosted the Sound Podcast since December, but its success has radio roots as he was working as creative director for Corus Entertainment's Deep Sky in Toronto in 2003, and segued to digital content in 2008, right when it all began to happen. We look back at the last 9 years of how digital has changed radio, what it has done right and wrong, and what the future looks like. If you are on the fence about your great idea - Ira will push you off it and get you going. (I think he actually gives you permission to do it) If you want to contact Ira to work with your new podcast or get some social media help, he is on every platform known to the internet - and through the podcast website. https://www.thesoundpodcast.com/contact/ This episode of the podcast is brought to you by Promosuite - www.promosuite.com/soundoff See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Tootall is a Montreal radio legend. Earlier this week he announced his retirement this September, making it an even 40 years on Montreal's legendary CHOM 97.7FM. Tootall is well known not only to Montreal radio listeners, but in Canadian Music Industry circles. He's interviewed every band long before they had airplay, a video, or even a label deal. I worked with Tootall twice in my radio career and we have kept in touch over the years. While his radio career may be coming to an end, I have the honour of enabling his podcast debut.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Dave Farough has a lot of ideas about radio. Today he published some of those ideas on his LinkedIn page entitled "If I Had a clean Sheet of Paper" and I asked them if I could add them to my page - and then the only thing that was missing, was the companion podcast. On this Canada Day in 2017, we spent our time talking about radio and tossing out ideas that could move it forward. So of these ideas aren’t new - but they also haven’t been tried yet. This episode is why I started the podcast: To table new ideas about what radio could be. If you want to contact Dave to work with your stations, e-mail him at dfarough@cogeco.ca.

Fred Jacobs is the president of Jacobs Media. Their tech surveys have become increasingly important as we progress through the digital revolution. The survey itself undergoes changes with the inclusion of new questions about personal assistant devices like Alexa. Which brings me to Podcast itself. Jacobs Media went all-in on podcasting a few years ago and I met up with Fred Jacobs and Seth Resler at Podcast Movement 16 in Chicago. This year they have partnered with the Podcast Movement Organizers to create Broadcaster meet Podcaster. You can read more about this exciting opportunity here. http://jacobsmedia.com/broadcasters-podcast-movement/ If you do wind up going to the conference in Anaheim August 23-25, please let me know so we can meet for a coffee or any of the other fine beverages served in the lobby bar. Of great interest to all radio people is this webinar that shows the relationship radio listeners have with podcasting. The webinar was done by Fred on June 15th and you can watch it now here. http://jacobsmedia.com/webinar-podcasting-radio-learned-techsurvey13/ This episode is brought to you by NLogic and their new cloud based application Lens for radio. http://go.nlogic.ca/l/130651/2017-04-26/m2xt4 Please rate and review the podcast as it helps others find it.

It’s brand promise has made it a favourite in a city where Millennials are becoming the majority. In this episode we discussed hiring talent, managing talent, and giving yourself permission to create great radio programming in the name of branding instead of ratings. We also spend some time discussing Power 97 in Winnipeg which we programmed at different periods. Christian from 2002-2004; and me from 2006 to 2014. Its parent company unloaded the brand in 2015, only to bring it back 20 months later.
