    EP 85: Wang Chung's Nick Feldman

    This Ep: Special Guest: Nick Feldman of Wang Chung
    Across the nation & around the world, in an in-depth interview with Nick Feldman, Greg gets to the bottom of what it really means to "Wang Chung tonight". Feldman & lead-singer Jack Hues formed Huang Chung in 1980 [later Wang Chung after a tip from David Geffen] and quickly became the quintessential 80's Brit-band. They Wang-Chunged their way to US-chart success with the album "Points on the Curve" & became a pop tour de force that shaped the musical tastes of millions of Gen-X'ers.  Caution: Episode includes a super-fun edition of "6 Degrees of Wang Chung-aration" ... so listen in & play along!

    EP 84: Cutting Crew's Nick Van Eede

    This Ep: Special Guest: Nick Van Eede of Cutting Crew
    Greg goes in-depth with Nick Van Eede of iconic Brit-band Cutting Crew. Busting on the world music scene in 1986 with their album "Broadcast", Nick & Kevin MacMichael were the driving force behind this Grammy-nominated band's chart-topping success.  Two songs, "[I Just] Died in Your Arms" (which hit #1 in Canada & US) and "I've Been In Love Before" (Top 10 in Canada & US) influenced an entire generation of Gen-X'ers in 1987 and continue to stand the test of musical time.  Genuine Classics without a doubt.   Caution: This episode includes saucy language, kazoo tales, and many great story's by a great story-teller!

    Episode 81: "Can't Help Loving The Jamz, The Hip, and The Tangerine"

    Episode 81: "Can't Help Loving The Jamz, The Hip, and The Tangerine"

    This Ep: Special Guest[s]: Jim Kozyra & Chris Petlak - from hit Netflix series "The Jamz" + Karac Hendriks
    Being solid Gen-X'ers, growing up on WKRP in Cincinnati, MTV & News Radio [ok, maybe we were 'all growns up' for the last one], and at least one of us having a solid 25 year career in TV & Radio broadcasting...we have a deep appreciation of the radio-genre.  Which brings GA into contact with "Jay-Jay" [Petlak] & "Fitzy" [Kozyra] from 101.7 "The JAMZ", Chicago's #1-rated [fictionally] radio station.  The critically acclaimed 4-part 'teaser' series debuted on Netflix in 2016 has us looking forward to a full season soon! Plus Jim shares with us the 'magic of audio' by hitting an imaginary 350 yard tee shot while playing golf during the interview [he spiked the shot on the tee-box]. Plus, old friend Karac Hendriks stops by to talk the magic of "The Tangerine" [bank], the Tragically Hip, and his new single "Can't Help Loving You...Greg?" just in time for this year's CCMA Awards in London, ON.  Caution: There's no money** in listening to this episode...but on your deathbed...you'll achieve total consciousness. Which is nice.  [**Editor's Note: There actually might be $50 in it for you if you sign-up with Tangerine Bank using our special activation code. But act fast, that $50 is only around till Sept. 15!]

    Episode 80: The Charmed Life: Playhouse Masters Tyson & Audy

    This Ep: Special Guest[s]:  Tyson & Audy Leavitt - Stars of TLC's new series Playhouse Masters
    "And what to our wandering eyes does appear...but Tyson & Audy with their Charmed Playhouses team here!"
    Yes Virginia [and the other 49 states], there is a Santa Claus. Or at least if you want a "Santa's Workshop" style playhouse, then Charmed Playhouses of Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada can probably make that happen! This episode GA interviews the humble husband & wife team behind these resplendent renderings of reverie who are taking the time-tested concept of 'playhouses' into the realm of Fantasy. They are doing such a good job of it, that their creative craftsmanship has landed them a gig as stars of their own TLC Network TV show "Playhouse Masters" which debuts everywhere on Tues. Aug. 23, 2016! Caution: This episode may induce fits of 'why can't I' in grown adults.

Great way to kill a commute!

Greg Shannon has always been a favourite of mine, and the way he melds his award-winning broadcast experience with his sidekicks Sparky and Peaker along with interviewing some pretty cool guests is a great way to pass the time during my commute!
