A few months ago filmmaker Sean Menard released his MuchMusic documentary entitled 299 Queen Street West, celebrating the history and cultural significance of what would come to be known as "The Nation's Music Station".  I attended the premiere screening at Roy Thomson Hall in downtown Toronto, spoke to Rick Campanelli, Denise Donlon, Ed the Sock, Sook-Yin Lee, Bill Welychka, and other Much alum as they walked the red carpet, and offer my personal thoughts on the film here.     

Ok, she's done everything. Much Music rock ‘n roll host/producer, president at SONY Music Canada, honcho at CBC Radio, and all-around do-gooder. Seriously. Through it all, Denise Donlon has tried to use her powers for good. She has fought for women, gay people, for racial diversity, and usually had a lot of fun while she was at it. She spills about CITY-TV, the CBC, and having her heart broken by Leonard Cohen. Not in that way. Denise paved the way for women in corporate leadership at Sony Music, at the CBC, at Much, and is a member of the Canadian Broadcast Hall of Fame. She's been awarded the Order of Canada, a few Geminis, and she has written a memoir: “Fearless as Possible (Under the Circumstances)”. She and her husband, the singer Murray McLaughlin, have been called “Canadian Royalty”. Whatever that is, she deserves it! You Can watch the episode on YouTube.

The only thing that can truly out last the rock and roll dream is the power of friendship...On this episode we are diving into a little bit of Can-Con rock and roll history with the new documentary; 'Doug and the Slugs and Me'.Doug and the Slugs and Me follows filmmaker Teresa Alfeld as she uncovers the story of Doug Bennett, leader of the legendary 1980s Canadian party band Doug and the Slugs — and the dad of her childhood best friend. The documentary features a who's who of international and Canadian musicians and industry insiders — including Bob Geldof, Bif Naked, Steven Page, Ron Sexsmith, Michael Williams, Denise Donlon and Terry David Mulligan — who provide insight into what made the Slugs' music, videos and stage shows so special and why the cards were ultimately stacked against them.Doug and the Slugs were undoubtedly one of a kind and we had the unique pleasure of sitting down with director Teresa Alfeld before the special one off screening TONIGHT at the Bloor Hot Docs Cinema in advance of it's premiere on the CBC doc channel and all other CBC platforms this coming Sunday about what kicked off her wanting to tell this story, the difficulties of it getting a little more personal then expected and the one of a kind joy that was this iconic Canadian band.You can visit the Hot Docs website right here if you'd like to hit the show.

He's been our man for some time (well, one of them), so it only made sense that for our season finale, we would dream up an imaginary dinner party for Leonard Cohen. With a Montreal-and-Hydra inspired menu and some rags, feathers, and pinstripes (maybe a Famous Blue Raincoat, why not), we plan a soirée that you won't want to miss. We have the honour and pleasure of sitting down for a glass of Chateau Latour and a hot banana pepper with Denise Donlon, a friend and colleague of the late Cohen's. As a host, producer, and record executive, including in her role as former President of Sony Music Canada, the author of Fearless as Possible (Under the Circumstances) worked closely with Leonard over many years. If all goes well, and with Denise's help, we'll stay up talking all night, and the famously thoughtful Leonard will make us a plate of scrambled eggs in the morning...Show notes:Leonard Cohen playlistHenry Ainley Wikipedia I'm Your Man: The Life of Leonard Cohen, by Sylvie Simmons (The biography Emma mentions repeatedly and quotes from)The BBC Interview we mentionLeonard Cohen nicknames Former Vogue UK Editor in Chief Alexandra Shulman on Leonard Cohen: Suzanne was the Ideal of the Age Pinstripe suits (the Italian brand Monica mentions): Giuliva Heritage Htipiti (roasted red pepper + feta dip) recipe Cooking with Akis PetretzikisDenise Donlon's memoir, Fearless as Possible (Under the Circumstances)Marianne & Leonard: Words of Love — documentaryThank you so much for listening, friends.

On this week's show, it's an honour to have one of Canada's finest-ever singer-songwriters, Murray McLauchlan, sit down for a wide-ranging and deeply interesting conversation. Murray is an inductee into the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame, an Order of Canada recipient, and an 11-time Juno Award-winning artist. On his latest album, Hourglass, he challenged himself to look within and address issues pertaining to systemic racism, privilege, and economic disparity. With Mike, of course, Murray chats about songwriting and the process of writing Hourglass; what separates good political songs from the irritating ones; being in the legendary Yorkville folk scene of the 1960s and '70s; navigating the industry; what he's learned from his wife, Denise Donlon, who is one of the most influential people on the business side of Canada's music industry; and that time Stephen Harper had him audited for opposing the war in Afghanistan.

Erica Ehm gets personal with Denise Donlon about the profound effect she had on MuchMusic, how her father influenced her in unexpected ways, and what made her hire George Strombo and other memorable VJs. Denise talks about her early days on the road with Whitesnake, what is was like to run Sony Music Canada as the music business was falling apart, and what happened when she went into labor in the middle of a live interview with the Cowboy Junkies, and so much more.

All I have to say about my conversation with media and music executive, Denise Donlon, is “ I wanna be her when I grow up!”  Denise struck me as someone who has managed to have an immense amount of success and has been able to remain grounded and open to sharing her experiences, candidly with an open heart. Denise and I talked in depth about the current state of the music industry and the challenges artists face in today’s current technologically driven landscape. Denise recalls when she left Much Music and became president of Sony Music Canada.  That was precisely when Napster was born and the idea of pirated music became widespread and music was at everyone's music fingertips for the first time in history. This free download mentality was wreaking havoc in the music industry and is still shifting and changing to this current day. Denise notes that there was this idea that the democratization of music was supposed to give the artist more creative control, allow them to self-produce, and enable them to have a direct line to their fans. However, as the dust has settled, it has only put more stress on artists to learn how to promote, market and become their own complaints department, taking them away from creating. This lack of support and management surrounding many artists and the way that society is currently undervaluing art is creating hustlers out of artists leaving little time for filling the creative well and self-care. “You need someone in your corner who will try and build protection for you to be able to create your work so that the gears of the star-making machinery doesn’t grind you down.” – Denise Donlon In this episode: Why it is important to the longevity of your career as an artist to not compromise your artistic integrity or vision. Why you need to learn to pick your battles to win the war What feminists can do in order to help make strides when it comes to women’s equality How she has dealt with imposter syndrome and turned it into a motivator   President of Sony Music Canada, and various executive and on-air positions at ChumTelevision, The NewMusic and MuchMusic.   A Member of the Order of Canada, Denise devotes her volunteer efforts to positively affect environmental and social justice issues through organizations such as Waterkeeper, the Governor General’s Performing Arts Awards, Soulpepper Theatre, MusiCounts and WarChild Canada. Her book: Fearless As Possible (under the circumstances) debuted in November 2016 to extraordinary reviews, and was shortlisted for the Kobo Emerging Writers’ Prize.   Follow Denise!

One of this year's Canadian Music Week panels brought together a cross-section of emerging broadcast talent to explore how to elevate young and diverse voices. CHUM-FM morning host Jamar McNeil, Kiss 104.9 Vancouver's Kevin Lim and Sonia Sidhu, Missy Knott from 95.7 ELMNT FM, Virgin Radio Toronto's Jax Irwin, and Flow 95.3 host Peter Kash came to share their stories of what it's like to be "the other" in what's a largely white, male-dominated industry. On this episode of Broadcast Dialogue - The Podcast, we bring you highlights from that panel, moderated by Maureen Holloway, followed by special guest and broadcasting executive Denise Donlon, who is known for her leadership in hiring diverse talent, particularly at MuchMusic. Donlon says diverse hiring is not only morally right, it makes good business sense.
