    I was inspired by radio growing up. I went to school for radio and worked in radio for the early and late parts of my career. But radio has changed....and I don't think for the better. Living in New Brunswick I just don't get the local flavour I want anymore.

    Feel free to comment or send me a text to 416-841-5669 or email at stephen.e.kee@gmail.com.

    If you have story ideas or would like to be interviewed....I'm all ears!
