E0003 - The Sublime to the Ridiculous

On this episode of the A Story Not Forgotten podcast, host Al Del Degan interviews Les Wiseman. Les teaches communications and all forms of writing at Royal Roads University in Victoria. He was the associate editor for Vancouver Magazine and wrote a Rock 'n' Roll column called In One Ear showcasing the emerging punk scene. Les was known as the guy on the west coast for writing profiles and TV Guide contacted him to write a column called On the Town with Les Wiseman interviewing stars who came to Vancouver. That was just the start of Les' provocative career.

Les tells us a story about how he went from being a construction worker to becoming the associate editor of a prestigious magazine while hanging out with legends like Frank Zappa, Iggy Pop, Tom Jones, Bob Hope, Wes Craven, Joey Ramone and Kurt Vonnegut.
