Josie Dye: Bringing The Fun

Josie Dye: Bringing The Fun

Josie Dye, morning show at Indie 88 in Toronto with Matt & Carlin, talks to Matt Cundill about radio, television and that whole thing with the national anthem in 2010.

Josie Dye is the morning host at Indie 88 in Toronto. The longtime 102.1 The Edge personality who also did hosting duties for Cosmo TV, and W Network took a chance on jumping to Indie 88. It has paid off well. You can hear it in Josie's voice. She is having more fun than ever at a station that has all the sounds and feels of any successful alternative radio station.

In this episode, we spoke about her early days studying at Ryerson while working at Mix 99.9, which was at its peak with an 8 share. Rather than head out to a smaller market, Josie found her way to the Edge where she eventually found her way to middays; working for great programmers like Ross Winters and Dave Farough. We reminisce about those old knock 'em down and drag 'em out music meetings over adding a song to the playlist.

We also spoke at great length about life at home, that time she fucked up the national anthem, and why she is so heavily involved in public speaking. There's additional stuff on the Episode Page Here.
