Show Notes

Toronto is the place this week as I sit in with Josie Dye, morning DJ at Indie88 and talk about all things radio! From show content to concert festivals, Josie talks about the hustle and grit it takes to not only get into the radio business but staying in the business as well. This natural storyteller is honest and forthright about everything from career train wrecks to broadcast success stories (with a special nod to one of our fave radio consultant Steve Reynolds of Reynolds Group Radio); how content and the business of impact and storytelling matter in radio; and all about her brand new podcast 'Cynthia and Josie's Unmentionables'. We also talk about her television work with Oh So Cosmo and CMT Canada; her genuine love of all music festivals (and that would also include water sports - listen in and find out!); those very early beginnings in Canadian radio; juggling motherhood and work, plus her involvement with a very special charity Socks 4 the Streets, which helps the homeless in Canada.  Bring along your love of radio and join us!


About the Spotlight Conversations podcast:

Tune in as I invite friends inside my cozy linoleum free recording studio to talk about all things media - radio, television, music, film, voiceovers, audiobooks, publishing - if guests know media, we're talkin'! Unscripted and nearly always entertaining, each guest gets real about their careers in the entertainment biz; from where they started to how it's going. Join us in my swanky studio where drinks are always on ice; music + media are the conversation starters. New episodes every other Tuesday.
