This podcast is based on co-host John Schlarbaum’s pubescent memories of the Top 40 between 1979 – 1982 when he created 106 weekly music charts alone in his bedroom in Southwestern Ontario.
Co-host Jason Cabanaw, 20 years younger, discovers, sometimes for the first time, music and bands he was unaware of.
Jason grew up in small-town Ontario, Canada, and now calls the prairies home. He started as a musician but found his groove behind the scenes in the studio and live production. If there's music happening, chances are he's nearby, helping bring it to life. Lately, he’s been spending his spare time building electric guitars - just for the love of it.
John Schlarbaum was raised in the small town of West Lorne, Ontario, Canada. He started his professional writing career as a Writer, Field Director, and Researcher for various nationally syndicated television programs. He has also worked as a Private Investigator, co-owned an award-winning independent bookstore, reviewed books for CBC Radio, and authored mystery and thriller novels, children’s books, a self-help book, and mainstream pop songs.
