The new book, Track Changes, examines the rise of all that came with the internet and how it changed Canadian music from new media to message boards, fan sites, MP3 blogs, and more, diving into how legacy brands were forced to evolve, including major record labels, retailers, and of course the media and radio.

Authored by Cam Gordon, Track Changes essentially chronicles the shared cultural history of music, technology and media in the 1990s and 2000s. He joins us on Broadcast Dialogue - The Podcast.

CPAC President & CEO Christa Dickenson is sounding the alarm that the Cable Public Affairs Channel is running on fumes.

The CRTC announced in November, it would put off making decisions on requests from CPAC, TV5, and Canal M to increase their mandatory per-subscriber monthly wholesale fees until the commission completes a larger policy review.

Dickenson says that's left CPAC in a critical position of uncertainty, at a time when Canadians' interest in democracy has never been greater.

Rob Hopkins - aka "Radio Rob" has used his DIY ethos to become a pioneering force in community broadcasting and open-source innovation in Canada's North. He's the founder of Yukon community stations CJUC Whitehorse and the low-power CFET-FM in Tagish, Yukon, as well as OpenBroadcaster - a web-based, open-source system to run community radio and TV broadcast transmitters.

He joins us on Broadcast Dialogue - The Podcast ahead of World Radio Day 2026, with this year's theme "AI and radio," underscored by the tagline "AI is a tool, not a voice."

We talk to Hopkins - who was named to Yukon's Hall of Innovators last year - about his work with Indigenous communities, local radio's enduring ability to connect, and how OpenBroadcaster is using AI.
