Chris Ash: Now Heard Around The World

It's not often that we hear a British accent on the radio in
Canada. Especially outside of Toronto, or maybe Vancouver, most
of our talent is home-grown. Chris Ash is a notable exception to
that rule. Chris was born and raised in the UK, attending
Staffordshire University and beginning his broadcasting career in
Kettering, close to London. After only a few years, he made the
journey to Canada, landing in Yorkton, Saskatchewan in 2016 and
crushing it in Canadian broadcast ever since.


But if you think Chris is just another disk jockey, you'd be
wrong. We've talked a lot on this show about the evolving nature
of the Broadcast industry, and how it needs to move forward with
the times. Chris has been at the forefront of such evolution for
his entire career. One of his main roles at Connect FM in
Kettering was to manage their social media, and he did a bang-up
job; their largest Facebook posts during his time at the station
were reaching over 130,000 shares. Not bad for a city of only
63,000 people.


While his career as a radio personality is about as successful as
anyone could ask for, he hasn't been resting on his laurels. In
more recent years, Chris has leveraged his penchant for internet
notoriety to expand his portfolio. He now offers commissions for
professional voiceover work on Fiverr, as well as continuing to
advertise his background in social media and video production.


In this episode, I speak to Chris about his journey from the UK
to Saskatchewan, and eventually to Winnipeg, where he is now.
You'll hear about his humble beginnings in Kettering, how he fell
in love with broadcasting, and the way he honed his skills
through years of hard work- along with a dash of pure charisma.


Thanks to those who have supported the show!
