Radio Jetlag

August 4, 2023 by PWCUpdates

Book: Radio Jet Lag by Gregor Craigie

Stephen Millburn moved from Ottawa to Victoria to fulfill his dream of being an early-morning radio host, but he’s barely holding it together. Trying to balance parental duties with his work schedule leaves Stephen running on coffee fumes and falling asleep at the most inconvenient times, including mid-broadcast. However, months into his new hosting position, his show and the station are growing in popularity. He has a passion for good journalism, which leads him to pursue a story about an encampment of unhoused people on the lawns of the city’s court house. Bleeding heart liberalism is not the stuff the station owner believes his audience wants to hear at eight a.m. and Stephen finds himself in a seriously conflicted position. Will he be able to pull it all together or is he heading for a downfall?
