I reconnect with Alix Michaels, tracing her journey from Winnipeg’s radio scene in the early 90s to her adventures across the US and back home again. We reminisce about the Winnipeg Radio Reunion, the unique energy of the city’s broadcast community, and the memorable personalities who shaped our careers. Alix shares candid stories about breaking into radio, working overnight shifts in the early 90's at 92 CITI-FM, and the unpredictable calls that came with the job—including a surreal encounter with Dave Mustaine from Megadeth. We discuss her leap into American radio markets, the challenges of TV hosting, and the evolving landscape of voiceover work, especially with the rise of AI. Our conversation also explores Winnipeg’s quirks, from its ever-changing radio dial to its vibrant, sometimes strange local culture. Please sign up for the SOUNDING OFF Newsletter.
