In this episode, Dave and Candace take a deep dive into the evolution of the radio industry—contrasting today’s expectation for on-air talent to be full-time social media content creators with the relentless, old-school grind that built careers.

Dave reflects on the early days of paying dues behind the mic, from hosting countless emcee gigs to calling games across the CFL, AHL, NHL, AJHL, and WHL. Together, Dave and Candace unearth classic archival audio and swap unforgettable behind-the-scenes stories, featuring memories of legendary radio figures including Maureen Holloway and Jake Edwards (The Champ). It’s a raw, funny, and nostalgic look at how broadcasting has changed—and what it truly took to earn your stripes.
