Alan Neal
ALAN NEAL comes to FUSE and BANDWIDTH after three years
as host of ONTARIO TODAY on CBC RADIO ONE.
During his stint on the noon show, he traded thoughts
and quips with musicians including Blue Rodeo, Barenaked
Ladies, The Arcade Fire, Feist, Hawksley Workman, Sarah
Harmer, K'Naan, Sarah Slean, Metric, Emm Gryner, Most
Serene Republic, Divine Brown and many more. (He actually
feels a twinge of guilt making lists because he panics
that people will feel left out. Then he remembers nobody
reads these things. Which then makes him wonder why he's
typing this. And talking about himself in the third person.
But anyway.)
He's been at CBC for 10 years now, massive amounts of
that being as a casual associate producer and syndicated
columnist (his TRENDS column was syndicated across the
country), filling in as host of shows including THE ROUNDUP,
OTTAWA MORNING and ALL IN A DAY, and launching a national
summer show THE OTHER STORY.
While his own musical career has not extended beyond singing
songs about Canadian Idol and Dallas on the radio, he
has had some success as a playwright, something he hopes
to get back to once he figures out these shows.
