The power of podcasting is ‘extended’ coverage of key stories. TV/radio may have used the story but a long form program can often add several facts that make a huge difference on discussing the topic. This is one of those topics. Worth the listen and share. @JulieMHelps

Saddened to hear of the passing of record rep pal Neil MacGonnigil this past weekend. Neil loved music and helped break ‘many’ stars during his long illustrious career including @jannarden in Calgary. We were pals in the heyday of Top 40 in the 70’s at CKXL. RIP friend.
