 In 1988, my journey into the world of radio began when I approached a local community radio station with a dream - to host a show dedicated solely to Newfoundland music. The idea stemmed from childhood memories of visiting Heart's Desire, NF, where my grandparents, Bill and Margaret Clarke, would tune in every Sunday morning to a radio program playing Newfoundland melodies. Those bittersweet moments before leaving, knowing it would be a year until our return, left an indelible mark on us all.

The music I chose to feature on my show resonated with those who, like many families, had left their home in search of greener pastures, yet never forgot their roots. For them, the tunes served as a weekly connection to their heritage, a reminder of where they came from despite the distance. Over the course of two decades, the show became a beacon of nostalgia and comfort for listeners far and wide, until its closure in March 2008.

Fast forward 14 years, and the musical landscape of Newfoundland had evolved, brimming with new sounds that demanded a global audience. In January 2022, I breathed life back into the show, determined to not only showcase the vibrant music emerging from the island but also to celebrate its rich cultural tapestry. It has been a joy to share this journey with you all, and I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to bring a piece of Newfoundland to the world once more.

I extend my heartfelt thanks to everyone who has supported me along this path and invite you to join me in experiencing the magic of Newfoundland music, engaging interviews, and the sheer joy that each broadcast brings. Thank you for being a part of this adventure, and may the melodies we share continue to resonate in your hearts.
