Written By Joe Mahoney

Adventures in the Radio Trade has been included on the 2023 Toronto Metropolitan University’s Alumni Book List. (TMU having been Ryerson Polytechnical Insitute back when I attended.)

It’s up there with the likes of Louise Penny, Margaret Atwood, and Peter Mansbridge. I graduated from Radio and Television Arts in 1987; Louise Penny from the same program in 1979. Atwood (there’s a chapter on her in my book) is included having received an Honorary Doctorate of Letters in 2012. Mansbridge received an Honorary Doctor of Journalism in ‘05.

I’m still waiting for all my Honorary Doctorates to roll in from various universities. (I may be waiting a while.)

But in the meantime, I’m glad to be on this list. Thanks to Finlay Braithewaite and Karen Sebasta who I suspect may have something to do with my inclusion.
