Host
Robin Brown is a sports fan with
a curiosity about what makes athletes tick. Her
favourite stories are about aspects of sports
that don't normally make the front pages, such
as Catriona LeMay Doan's spirituality or what
motivates a scientist to catch drug cheaters.
Robin has been the host since 1995, although her time at CBC Radio dates back
to 1988. She has worked as a news reporter in Thunder Bay, and the sportscaster
for the CBC morning show in Winnipeg. She has also reported on many national
and international sporting events, including the Olympics, the Grey Cup, the
Commonwealth Games and the Brier.
Genetics may have attracted Robin to radio journalism. She grew up "in
the wings," as her late father, Harry Brown, was an award-winning radio
and television broadcaster.
Robin was born in St. John's, grew up in Toronto, and received her BA from
Queen's University where she also played varsity soccer and hockey.
Robin and her husband, Tom, live in Toronto and enjoy a little friendly competition
on the golf course.
