caroline knox

After realizing that rodent brain-surgery was not her calling, Caroline turned to her second love: writing. Growing up, CBC radio played a prominent role in Caroline's life. She counts Bill Richardson, Shelagh Rogers and Arthur Black among her dearest friends. Caroline is passionate about science and critical thinking. She recites the "To be or not to be" soliloquy in her head whenever she feels nervous. She also loves to travel and has been all over North America, Europe and Southern Africa. Caroline can't imagine a better job than gallivanting around the world collecting people's stories. Hopefully, radio will give her the opportunity to do just that.

julia lipman

Julia came into journalism equipped with an English degree and a passion for writing. But when she sat down in front of the microphone, a voice comparable to Kathleen Turner's trailed out. Pressured by her peers to explore the potential of her booming voice, Julia is giving radio a shot. For Julia, radio was the only one of the three rotations that was more fun than work. With its crazy hours and fast-paced environment, radio is a pleasant interruption from the structured lifestyle Julia aspired to before beginning the program.

He was recently seen jumping half-naked into the icy Pacific after completing the FatAss 50k in Vancouver on New Year's Day. John's chronic radio habit has led his neighbours to rename him 'CBC' and one day, he would like to fulfill his dream of working at said corporation.

james mcmillan

James has a unique ability to absorb knowledge about the people and places that surround him. He's been captivated by the journalistic media since first discovering CBC Radio in the early 90's. Listening to Peter Gzowski turned James onto the idea that he could channel his broad interests into a useful career through journalism. While his first love of radio has won out in the short term, James is fresh off a television internship at The NewPL. And after spending the last five years turning the CHRW 94.9 FM newsroom on its edge, James is looking forward to taking on his next challenge.

trina melatti

Sitting in her car in the dark during the 2003 summer blackout, Trina was convinced radio would definitely need a bit more exploring. She began the program with her heart set on print but when the lights went out that fateful afternoon there was no going back! Trina decided to do her internship at CFPL AM980 and also got a chance to work with Energy 103, The Hawk and FM96. After finishing her internship, Trina was certain she'd never want to have a job that felt like work again. Radio gives her the opportunity to write as well as do some on air work that makes her feel like a star!

Fluent in Spanish, he hopes to find himself filing reports from Latin America and here in Canada, covering stories from the nation's growing immigrant community.

kyle rea

Kyle never intended to be a journalist. He came to Western with a desire to be an entertainment writer, but the exciting and fast-paced world of the newsroom hooked him and hasn't let go. He's been a radio junkie ever since he co-hosted a college radio talk show in 2002. He interned at CJCS, a small radio station in his hometown of Stratford. Despite his small-town roots, Kyle wants to travel the world - and meet new and exciting people. And although he now loves the newsroom, he would still love to follow in the footsteps of his hero, Roger Ebert, and become a film critic.

With her eyes set on the stars, Kasia Sarnecki came to Western to pursue her dream of broadcasting. Her most recent experience in radio was in New York City at Z100 (WHTZ) where exposure to the bright lights of the city and fast pace of the station confirmed her love for radio.

When Kasia's not working on her radio career she is all about enjoying life and spending time with those close to her.

heidi ulrichsen

Heidi grew up among the black rocks, mines, and numerous Tim Horton's restaurants of Sudbury, Ontario. A lifelong love of reading, writing and editing led her to study English at Laurentian University and journalism at Western. Her mother says she began asking questions almost as soon as she learned to talk. This love of the interrogative was put to the ultimate test during her internship at CBC Radio in Sudbury. When not questioning others, Heidi enjoys cooking, reading, outdoor sports and laughing with her friends in the radio room.

j unrau

J is a serious guy. He deals with issues that are as serious as they come. An example? On his CBC internship he settled the age-old question: Could the Pope take on Batman? He reads more comicbooks and novels than newspapers, but not because he doesn't care about the world around him. He's just fascinated with all the forms stories take. Non-existent videotapes made into books, graphic novels done as movies and galactic hitchhiking on the radio are only a few of J's favourite things. Plus there's that whole journalism thing. Seriously.
