My Guest Appearance on The K-Dub Podcast at the University of Victoria

I try never, ever to turn down an interview request from a student–and for a good reason.

When I was trying to get started in the radio business, there were two guys working in at Winnipeg radio stations that I was dying to talk to–you know, just to get a few pearls of wisdom and a couple of hints at how to get my first job.  

Even though I idolized these guys, both of them consistenly blew me off.  I swore that if I were even in their position, I’d never act that way to a student looking for a bit of break.

Second, they’re both dead.  I’m not saying it was karma, but just in case…

This is how I came to be on The K-UB show on CFUV at the University of Victoria.  You hear how it all panned out by clicking here.
