layers of each of his guests. “One writer described my show as ‘Up On a Lake in Muskoka,’” John states. “You know, you have the hook dangling in the water, and you just let them come up to it. ‘It’s so nice. It’s so wonderful to have you.’ I was the nicest person. Your best friend. That was the first half of the show. Then, after the commercial break, we got to the real reason we had them on.” John admits that more people tuned in for the second half. “Once they grabbed the hook, boy I sure pulled on that line,” John laughs. While John fondly remembers each of his shows, he notes that having a mayor on was always a special treat. “Having a mayor on was our pièce de résistance,” John states. “We’d do an hourlong show instead of a half-hour one.

Most notably in 2002, when John and Carol Derbyshire launched the Hospice Face to Face Campaign. “The Hospice Face to Face campaign has been one of the best things I’ve ever done,” John admits. “It all came out of my show when I interviewed Carol Derbyshire.
