Back on the dial/Help a friend

It's my true calling: the broadcast industry. And yesterday I was swept off my feet and given a 'welcome back' to CJOB 68, Manitoba's Information Superstation.

I consider myself to be a pretty busy guy, doing the Tiki Room Morning Show live MOnday to Friday at 8am Eastern, then going and working a full-time job at the University of Manitoba. On top of this, I do the Sorcom Review show on Sorcerer Radio as well on Mondays at 9am Eastern, and then of course, I have my acting - where at the v

ery least I'm once again performing as The Evil Magician in Fantasy Theatre's prduction of "Aladdin" this October 12-18 with rehearsals starting soon.

Oh yes, and I need to remember to breathe in there, too.

But as I said, I have graciously accepted the offer to come back as the regular, perminant host of The Weekend Wakeup Show on CJOB. Why do I want to work 7 days a week, you ask? Easy: I don't do a whole lot on the weekends, I'm in my later 20's and don't go out too much

anymore, or at least too late. I figured I may as well do something with my weekends, and I'll be honest...the broadcasting bug had been nipping at me for quite some time! I love Sorcerer Radio and all that I do for it, but the Weekend Wakeup Show on CJOB has more of a personal feel to it as I connect with Manitobans in their every day lives, greeting them on the birthdays segment, or interviewing individuals who are putting on special events in our fair city.

Now, does this mean I am leaving Sorcerer Radio? Absolutely not. I'm going to continue doing the Tiki Room Morning Show.

But now I can be heard 7 days a week...Monday to Friday with Sorcerer Radio, and Saturday and Sunday mornings with CJOB.

I am so privledged and honored to be asked to come back and host the show. It really means a lot to me!

The big difference compared to being on Sorcerer Radio, is that CJOB is an all-talk station. Talk and news. So you can expect a lot more chatter than you're used to on the Tiki Room Morning Show, and keep in mind I'll barely be talking Disney...but will throw it in, if it's appropriate! ;)

My re-debut as host of CJOB's Weekend Wakeup Show goes September 12 at 6am-8am Central, then on September 13 from 6am-9am Central. You can stream the show live at www.cjob.com, or simply visit the same site and click Audio Vault (about half way down the page) to re-listen to the show (if you tend to sleep-in on weekends!).

In closing, on a seperate note, I received an e-mail this morning to my fantasmic@srsounds.com address from Rebecca. Her good friend from college is recovering from cancer treatments and is looking for two passes to EPCOT for TOMORROW so that she and her fiance can enjoy a special dinner at the park.

If possible, please e-mail Rebecca at farrell_rebecca@hotmail.com or contact her on Twitter at @FarfsGirl. She would really appreciate it.

Thanks everyone, and have a great day.
