Stephen Keppler: Some Good News
For natives of Kelowna, B.C., Stephen Keppler requires no introduction. But on the off chance you’re not from around there, Stephen is the morning drive host at Move 101.5 in Kelowna, one of the largest radio shows in B.C.
Morning show hosts nowadays have a bit of a reputation for making easy content- lots of audience text and phone lines, asking questions like “What’s your worst concert experience? Call in and let us know,” so on and so forth. This summer, though, things haven’t been quite so easy for Stephen. If you’ve been watching the news, you’ll have heard of the disastrous forest fires wrecking the West Coast for the last few months. It just so happens that keeping people informed about, and safe from, those fires has become a huge part of Stephen’s job.
Stephen talks to us about his humble origins as a radio-loving kid in Edmonton, his roles on morning shows at a huge number of large radio stations in Western Canada, and of course, what it was like helping people avoid those raging fires.
For more of Stephen, listen in to Move 101.5 in the morning if you’re in the Kelowna area. If not, you can listen online here!
