Stu Jefferies: Mornings Boom 97.3 Toronto

If you're a Gen Xer, you likely know Stu Jefferies. He was the
host of the venerable CBC TV show Good Rockin' Tonight which ran
from 1983 to 1993. The Canadian reply to NBC's Friday Night
Videos carried it's weight and powered the Cancon to kids whose
parents were too cheap to spring for MuchMusic. Yes... this was a
thing. If all you know about Stu is his stint on TV, then here is
the rest of the radio story. It all started in Winnipeg, went to
Saskatchewan, Vancouver, Edmonton, and then back to Vancouver,
Burlington, and finally Toronto. There was some country thrown
in, some Country television, and finally he landed at what became
Boom.


In this episode you'll get your fill of Winnipeg and what it mean
to grow up on the legendary radio in the city that sprung the
Guess Who, Randy Bachman and Neil Young. You'll also hear how he
led a hectic travel schedule to accommodate working on
television. And finally, with the pandemic in full swing, we
discuss what it is like to work from home doing radio with
podcasting's most popular tool, the Rodecaster Pro. (Yes, Stu
even provides a review)


As always there is more on the episode webpage including tons of
additional video footage of things I consider important.
