Over 600 college radio stations in more than 45 countries will celebrate World College Radio Day on Friday, Oct. 7.

On this episode of Broadcast Dialogue - The Podcast, we welcome the event's founder Dr. Rob Quicke.

You'd be hard pressed to find someone more passionate about college radio or with more street cred in the space as one of the students who helped launch the UK's first-ever FM college station at Oxford University in the '90s, in addition to 15 years as the General Manager of campus station WPSC-FM Brave New Radio in Wayne, New Jersey.

Among other things, we talk about why college radio is still relevant and why this year's College Radio Day is dedicated to peace.

Arguably one of the biggest radio stunts of the last decade happened earlier this summer with the launch of Rogers Sports & Media's SONiC RADiO format in Metro Vancouver.

A stunt that saw Rage Against The Machine's polarizing track Killing in the Name enable the transition from the former KiSS format. In the 30-hour space between, the ensuing theories about why went viral, covered by outlets from Esquire, Rolling Stone, and CBS, to The Guardian and The Daily Mail.

On this episode of Broadcast Dialogue - The Podcast, alt rock radio veterans Christian Hall, SONiC RADiO's Content Director and the National Content Director for JACK FM, and Angela Valiant, the host of the SONiC Vancouver morning show, take us behind the scenes of the launch. We also get into the nuances of alt rock programming, algorithm fatigue, and why Hall believes Vancouver just became the most exciting radio market in the country.

Nancy Regan is best-known for her 15-year hosting stint on highly-rated ATV/CTV Atlantic supper-hour lead-in Live at 5...a job she literally fell into after university. Growing up in the spotlight as the daughter of Nova Scotia Premier Gerald Regan, she found herself addicted to approval, which compounded a lifelong struggle with perfectionism.

Regan is the author of new book, From Showing Off to Showing Up, that she describes as a memoir with a side of self help. Now a podcaster, actress, and presentation coach, Regan joins us on this episode of Broadcast Dialogue - The Podcast to talk about emerging from years of masking anxiety and imposter syndrome to walk the path of self-discovery and authenticity.

With all of the discussion about increasing representation of marginalized communities over the past few years, AMI (Accessible Media Inc.) wondered why the disability community wasn't being included in that conversation. 

It recently announced the launch of the Disability Screen Office (DSO), in conjunction with the Canada Media Fund (CMF) and Telefilm.

Broadcast Dialogue - The Podcast spoke to Andrew Morris, AMI-tv's Manager of Independent Production, about both amplifying creative voices from within the disability community and eliminating accessibility barriers for those who want to work in Canada's screen industries.
