After having brain surgery, Marita Hollo decided to do stuff that she always dreamed about. Like having her own radio show. Mopa Dean, then CIUT program director in 1996, told her that she had the right voice for it so she got herself a show. By All Means women's collective. She did a weekly show for 8 years before leaving to work for the CBC radio station up in Yellowknife. We also spoke about CBC Unlocked which took place 20 years ago when CIUT gave Andy Barrie and the other CBC Toronto personalities a morning slot for several weeks of their lock-out. She's Jenny Blackbird's mother (see Radio Recall no. 46 for that interview).

Who went to Faywood PS? Rick Moranis, Geddy Lee, Perry Goldberg and me (Steve Fruitman). Who began Radio Thornlea? And the Ryerson station that later became CKLN? Who got to see King Crimson (Front Row) with free tickets? How did two long haired freaks get their own radio show on CHOO? and why did they get kicked off. Lots of questions but the answers are all there in this, the latest podcast of Radio Recall.

I met Perry when I was 18 so it was a joy to have him come on as our guest on this edition of RR.

Craig Robertson is our first guest to begin our 4th season. He works at Durham Radio in southern Ontario but was also a professor of Radio Arts at Seneca College - a post that he kept until last year when the course was cancelled. So were courses at various other community colleges (a la Humber). So are there any future jobs in radio? Where's the medium going? How to survive? What advice you should be given? It was a great conversation with a veteran of over 35 years in the bizzness.

What a team!!
