In radio, it's pretty much a rule. You're going to have to move around if you want to move up. That said, every rule has an exception. Hear how JD Anderson went from doing overnights for free, to running the whole building, to running the whole province.

We kick of 2016 with our 50th episode of Off Mic! To mark the occasion, this week we're talking to JD, 1 half of the CJAY 92 morning show, on blacking out during his first break, breaking mom's heart by leaving her favorite station, and getting to work along side a legend.

This week, we go across the desk at the private studios of the Humble & Fred show to get the story from the "sidekick" on the show, if you can call it that anymore.

Meet the man who swore in front of Anne Murray, this week on Off Mic!

Another story of the weird ways people get in to radio. Imagine sitting at a desk answering phones, and being discovered by a morning show.
