I mentioned before I was getting some writing help at CBC Radio. It’s from a man named John Parikhal. He’s a media strategist with over 30 years experience in communications within media and has written books on how radio works.
At Radio 2 I share the task of writing a feature with Mark Wigmore called O Canada. The feature gives listeners some history and insight on top-selling and game-changing songs and bands in Canada.
I voice them all but I’ll be posting the ones I’ve written.
Let me tell you – I find the process of writing these very difficult. I have to think and think about what the real story or the real point of the feature is with each song or artist. And it’s funny, just when I think I ‘get’ what I’m supposed to be doing, John cracks that whip and refocuses me. Plus, I get plenty of encouragement from a woman named Ann MacKeigan – my supervisor and not unlike an aunt who only wants the best for you. I’m grateful to them both.
This one is about an Archie’s song. Can you guess which one?
