Nostalgia, but more like a meetup with friends
I have always been unabashedly positive about the influence of MuchMusic in my life (this would be essentially Canadian MTV to translate for USA readers. But different somehow). I did not have cable where I lived (still can’t at that location honestly). So I basically took over any TV with cable access and headed straight to MuchMusic, especially in the late 80s and all through the 90s. The VJs on there felt like friends, like we were having a conversation about music, sometimes politics, occasionally current events. A great escape during a great time in music history. Sadly Much as I knew it and VJs as an occupation went away as I aged. But the people who had that groundbreaking job (and it was in the early 80s) still exist and do a myriad of different jobs now. Some related. Some not. This podcast (created by Erica Ehm, one of said VJs, and produced with assistance by Steve Anthony, also a VJ/DJ in his own right), IS a trip down memory lane. However, and more importantly, it is important is showing where a highly visible job such as VJ gets you. Where do you end up later? And how did that highly public job get you there, or NOT get you where you wished. If you loved Rick The Temp, George, Erica, Christopher Ward, Bradford, Nam, Jen Hollett, Master T, Dan Gallagher, etc, or just CITY-TV in that era, subscribe. It’s worth it.

It’s not just about the music and the musicians but the transformations the...Read full review »

I was so happy to find out that Erica Ehm (one of my favorite former MuchMusic VJ's) had launched a new podcast recently focusing on interviews with the VJ's and personalities of the Nations Music Station. I grew up with MuchMusic in the 80s and Erica and her colleagues became almost...Read full review »

Terrific! Growing up in the 80s-90s, Much Music and its VJs had a tremendous impact on how I perceive and engage with music and visual culture. Erica Ehm’s deep dives with former VJs are nostalgic, funny and poignant. Well edited, professional and an all around solid listen!
