I haven't been on the Radio since the end of June 2006. I said goodbye on a Friday, joked that I was going on holidays and that I might not be back.
Some joke.
Well that holiday is about to end.
Starting Monday August 11 I'll be hosting a brand new morning show on EZ Rock.
Yes EZ Rock.
For the full details go here.
For the Mike Boon spin, go here.
For the time being let me just say a few things.
I am thrilled. I've missed it and I can't wait to start doing it again.
The past couple of years have been among the best and worst in my life but I wouldn't trade them for anything.
I wrote a book, got to travel the country, got a job directing cat videos, spent time with my wife, drove my daughters to school and soccer. Lots of soccer.
Now it's time to try broadcasting again.
I'm going to be part of an ensemble of amazingly talented people and we think it's going to sound different and great and I'd love you to hear it starting Monday morning at 5:30.
I'm excited but to be honest I'm also a little freaked out.
It has been a very interesting period in my life and I appreciate the fact that for the past 25 months, this is how I've been able to keep in touch with you. Thanks for your support.
Starting Monday I'll be writing about this new start. Yes I plan to keep publishing Hhdotcom and I hope to bring you some behind the scenes stuff and let you in on the process of building a new show.
The Holiday is over and starting Monday you can not only read my comments but for the first time in 25 months, hear them as well.

Hallelujah! This is awesome news! My husband and I got to meet you and Fred when we entered (and won)the BBQ contest on that OTHER station which I haven't listened to a second of since you left...you and Freddie were awesome and we still think of both of you fondly when we fire up the grill-nice way to be remembered, eh?
We've missed you-my only problem is we're off on holidays beginning next week and will likely be out of listening range. This is awesome....it's been much too long-Congrats!

Hey H,
Long time listener, first time commenter, love the new format...what, your leaving?
Congratulations, about time, TO radio has sucked since you left. What do I do with my Sirius radio now H?
Hopefully we get to see Slime 2...

HH,
Congrats my good friend. I look forward to less road rage on the morning drive with more drivers dialed into EZ - including myself of course. It's great to hear your voice on the airwaves again and best of luck to you and the team!

H:
Yay!
Will you still be doing a "Humble Report" type-thingie? (hope-hope) Or are you leaving that bit behind?

Congrats HH the better half and I will be listening. :)

Congrats, Humble!
I want to listen...oh how I want to listen but the music it a little unbearable. Perhaps if my Mum is in my car on my commute I would listen. I will tune in for a bit but as soon as Celine hits the air...I am gone.

Wow, congrads to you!! I am so turning in the station as of Aug 11! Oh wait I am so tuning in once we get back from holidays. :o) Aug 25

OK so this will the 3rd time you work for the gang at St Clair and Yonge?
Hopefully this time they'll let you stay.
Too bad the music at EZ Rock is less than entertaining.
Break a leg HH!
You should did up the song you played back at CJFM with Jeff in Montreal making fun of Ontario.

Congrats!
I stopped listening to MIX as soon as you were let go. It will be good to hear you back on the radio again. I'll be adding 97.3 to a preset in the car!
