Whatever Happened to Matt & Jake?

This is Episode 100.


My years in radio taught me to celebrate the milestones and
accomplishments. No more so than the time I spent at 100.3 the
Bear in Edmonton. Some background on why I decided to do this
show.


Back in January when I was planning out the shows for the next
few months, I wanted to have Greg Brown aka Jake Daniels on. He
and I worked together on 100.3 the Bear in Edmonton from 1994 to
2002, working on the afternoon show for close to 5 years. I never
had more fun on the air than I did with Jake. A few days after I
made that shortlist for the forthcoming guests on the podcast,
Jake posted on his Facebook page that his Lymphoma Cancer had
returned and he was going to be starting chemotherapy again. On
Valentine's Day, old friends from the station in Edmonton, Dave
& Leesa Beeson started a Facebook group and GoFundMe campaign
for Jake. That campaign formed the idea of putting this podcast
together, and from then I committed to making Episode 100 about
Jake Daniels and our time together on air at the Bear.


Last year, 100.3 the Bear celebrated their 25th birthday. I often
suggest that radio stations celebrating a significant birthday or
anniversary create a podcast series to commemorate that history.
That's kind of what episode 100 is about. A reunion of a radio
show that ended 17 years ago with two radio friends who really
enjoy one another's company.


I could have just picked up the phone and called. But we did a
podcast instead.


By the way - this podcast is made more enjoyable because the of
the people who took time to contribute to it. Thanks, Marty
Forbes, Greg Diamond, Todd James, Terry Evans, Laura Fraser, Cubb
Carson, Chris Maksylewicz, Ron Weslosky, Yukon Jack and Rob
Vavrek... and Dave and Leesa Beeson whose idea became the
inspiration for this podcast. Apologies in advance for not
mentioning everyone - we just didn't have a 4th hour in us.
