This is a teaser for the long-awaited episode featuring Rock & Roll Hall of Fame deejay, and radio legend, Mr. David Marsden.

David Marsden is best know as the creator of CFNY in Toronto and led it during it's most revered and influential time.  New Wave and all of the wonderful, but mostly ignored post-punk music of the 80's  He's also one of 4 broadcasters featured in the documentary I Am What I Play, which as the title suggests, is about really standing up for what you believe in... credibility, trying to push things forward.  Which he continues to do to this day through at NYTHESPIRIT.COM

How many of you ever worked somewhere where you could play the songs you wanted to play?  I'm guessing not many.  But, back in the 60's/70's, there were a few who had a strong enough following, that management had no choice but to let them play what they wanted.  "I Am What I Play" is a documentary about those 4 individuals, produced and directed by Roger King, our guest this week on "Radio: What Happened".  Also, a replay of our Music Montage #2 -- I guess it was a little tougher than the last one - no winner yet. Come on people, you can do it!  Hope you enjoy this week's episode and as always, share with your friends.

This week, we preview our upcoming conversation with Roger King, the producer / director of "I Am What I Play", a documentary about rock djs.  You're going to love it.  Also, we listen to an air check recorded on the last day of broadcasting for Radio London back in 1967.  Plus, we talk a little bit about some trends in ratings across the country, and what's hot and what's not.  Join us, and hopefully share with your friends.

Roger King talks about the good old days of free form rock radio and "I Am What I Play", his new documentary that celebrates the DJ's that introduced us to the music we love.
