About a month ago, Matt Cundill, owner and main mover of the Sound Off Media Company based in Winnipeg, interviewed me about my book Rock ‘n’ Radio. Matt has been in the podcast game since 2016 and produces 10 podcasts ranging from sports and entertainment to health and wellness. Matt, a native Montrealer and Lower Canada College grad, has been in the radio biz since the ’80s and from 2004-2006 was assistant Program Director and Music Director at CHOM-FM. 

He let me wander around, as I’m prone to do, the 20 or so years of rock radio history that my book covers, but what came out of that conversation is a more tightly edited version at a tolerable length of about 28 minutes.

So strap yourself in for a ride back to the ’60s, ’70s and early ’80s when AM radio, then FM, gave rock a platform to flourish. As it continues to do.
