Vinny Barrucco: Un Vrai Montrealais

Sometime back in 2008, Vinny Barrucco made the call to (then) Mix
96 to see if his skills acquired at community juggernaut K103
Kahnawake would translate into the Montreal mainstream. We know
today that that answer is yes. The Montreal morning host has done
most of the day parts on Montreal radio at the two of the biggest
English FM's in the city, Virgin Radio and 92.5 The Beat. Today,
he is a host on the former along with Shannon King and Adam
Greenberg.


In this episode, you will hear how Vinny nearly left Montreal on
a few occasions, only to have circumstance keep home in his
hometown. We also took the time to share our passion and love for
Montreal and everything it has offer. Apologies if it gets a
little inside with words such as "Dep", "Habs", "Bill 101",
"Anglo", "Franco" and an in-depth discussion about how the Quebec
star-system towers over Canada's. No apologies offered for the
three or four times we randomly started talking about the
Montreal Canadiens. (Bruins and Leafs fans might want to skip
over this episode and listen in July)


I had the chance to meet Vinny in 2019 where we chatted about the
world of podcast and I really love how he started one with his
wife Tina called, "Marriage in the Fast Lane", documenting their
transition from single, to newlyweds, to parents.
