Lena Shulman: Where Shall We Begin?

Researching for podcast episodes is different in the pandemic. I
often have met the person long before I interview them. Perhaps
we shared a coffee or drink, maybe we worked together or I saw
them speak at a conference. Perhaps I grew up listening to them,
worked in the same market or interviewed them for a job. The
pandemic has turned some of episodes into radio Lava-Life dates.
That's what happened with this episode with Lena Shulman from
Vancouver's Jack-FM.


In this episode, I spent a fair amount of time asking her the
questions on her online profile, but the real gold was in the
after dinner drinks where I found her her family emigrated from
the former Soviet Union and later Israel on their way to Canada.
As we spoke it was apparent that Lena also knew multiple
languages. Her broadcast career started on campus at the
University of Toronto where she was studying history. From there
she opted for a producer position at Corus Radio Toronto and made
her way across Canada to Lloydminster, Saskatoon, Niagara and
then back to Vancouver's Jack 96.9 FM where she co-hosts the
morning show with Drex and Bob Addison, aka No Fun Bobby.


Lena made mention of a book by Roy Williams called Pendulum. You
can order a copy of it here.


You can find out more about Lena and see some of great stuff she
is up to on our episode page.
