I get back together with Terry Evans, the morning host at Edmonton’s K97, to discuss life family and his new podcast Reluctantly. I warn you, we don’t spend a ton of time talking about radio; more about radio life and family. Terry shares insights into his family’s remarkable achievements: his son Riley, a drummer who has played at major international venues like Lollapalooza and Coachella, and his daughter Katie, who was recently crowned Canada’s top bartender and will represent the country in a global competition.
The conversation explores Terry’s long radio career, his initial hesitation about podcasting, and the vibrant Edmonton music scene that nurtured his son’s talent. We reflect on the city’s evolution, its diversity, and the supportive community that helped shape his family’s success.
With humour and warmth, Terry discusses his health, multiple home moves, and the challenges of early morning radio. Terry has launched his new podcast Reluctantly, which my company is more than happy to assist with. His reaction to podcast creation has been much like the 1970’s commercial for Life Cereal.
A Transcript and video of the show is available on our network page.
