Edit – I have just added a second clip which is very relevant to the topic of I Am What I play. The clip is from a tape I recorded in 1981 where DJ Gary Storm and Louie The Mad Vinyl Junkie speak as the progressive free form format is coming to an end at WZIR FM in Niagara Falls NY.

John Donabie on CIUT FM interviewing  Roger King, the director of the film “I Am What I Play” along with David Marsden who is featured in the film . The film is about free form radio and also profiles DJ’s  Charles Laquidara,  Meg Griffin and Pat O’Day. You can hear many air checks of Charles L  on this site at pioneering free form station WBCN FM.

John Donabie and David Marsden are Toronto radio legends and both were heard on the great CHUM FM during the early 1970’s . Marsden was also a driving force behind  CFNY FM  “The Spirit of Radio” for many years and he continues to mine the free form spirit on the internet today at  NY The Spirit.

The audio from April 2016 is taken from a show  called Mixed Bag hosted by  Donabie .  A great discussion about free form radio and you will also hear a bit of the regular show which hearkens back to the old CHUM FM. Mixed Bag  only lasted a few years and was sadly the last free form show on terrestrial radio in Toronto.

Toronto radio history and some of it relatively recent  from  April 21, 2006.  Not free form and added to the Radio Miscellany section of the site.  A gathering of the two Hodges, Dave and Rick. The CHUM FM clip also features Rogers Ashby and Marilyn Dennis and the CKFM clip h as Russ Thompson.

Rick Hodge can be heard throughout the second clip and Dave Hodge can be heard at 56:56 of the first clip.
