This was the demo tape from the Midnight to 5 am show I did on 1470 CFRW Winnipeg that landed me a job at 580 CFRA Ottawa in 1976 where I was to remain for 12 years as "The Rock Jock" on the massively popular News, Information, and easy listening radio station.

"What is wrong with the way we deal with addictions?" A complex question which has many answers. Hopefully, nothing like the standard political lines like: "We are monitoring the situation." "We are looking at all available options."  "Our hearts go out to the individuals, families and communities affected."

People Helping People began as a radio show about addictions and recovery in 1995. 
Hosted by Mark Elliot, a certified addiction counselor and a recovering person himself.  The show was designed as a place where you could ask any question about addictions and alcoholism and provided a forum for people in recovery to share their experiences.  It became an instant hit with listeners who said: "It's like a meeting I can take with me."  People Helping People continues to speak to addicts, alcoholics, families, and anyone who is affected by addiction.
