I’ve been a listener of CBC Radio all my life. I miss the heady days of Peter Gzowski, Vicki Gabereau, Michael Enright and Alan Maitland duo and Lister Sinclair‘s dulcet voice and gentle hand on the wheel.
CBC has gone through a lot of changes, some of them great, some not so. The not so great has been the loss of radio drama which has been stellar through out the years. But maybe some forms of podficts are coming back. Thanks to NPR’s famous Serial, CBC has started a couple more innovative story telling shows. The latest is Someone Knows Something. This documentary first person style series- like Serial- follows a tale all season about a missing person- unsolved cases. The first season it was Adrien McNaughton. Season two it’s the story of the disappearance Sheryl Sheppard.
The episodes are compelling like only crime mysteries can be. That they are true, brings out the very iciness in the veins. Let’s hope that someone does know something and these mysteries can be solved.

eilly has been a MUST LISTEN personality way back when he gave us O’Reilly on Advertising, and then The Age of Persuasion and now Under the Influence.
O’Reilly is a kingpin of advertising as owner and operator of Pirate Toronto and Pirate New York, his studio is the largest production studio that’s not from a major movie production company. O’Reilly simply knows his stuff. He knows how persuasion is made in advertising, and what’s more, he loves radio.
I had the opportunity to see Mr. O’Reilly when he was at his book signing in Halifax. I got to tell him about The Sonic Society and he was thrilled. Apparently, he’s a lover of radio drama. Who knew? Well, we do. Because those with taste always reach for the best in audio.
Speaking of the best, have a listen to this recent show about how Radio Still Makes Waves. It could give you some incredible ideas to market your own show. Then subscribe to Under the Influence for a ton more!
