Show Notes
In the very first episode of Reinvention of the VJ, Erica Ehm gets personal with Steve Anthony about how he was headed for a life in jail in his early years, his reputation as the Bad Boy of MuchMusic, and why he chose to leave his broadcasting career as a morning show host when he was at the top. Erica Ehm sits down with long time friend Steve Anthony and the result is entertaining because they are polar opposites! Erica is more of the quiet type (trust us, she's an introvert), whereas Steve makes every room he walks in explode with energy! Steve shares stories that trace his evolution from classroom prankster to radio announcer , and eventually becoming 'your blonde VJ pal' on MuchMusic. The tree toss, the bands who loved and hated him, the demons he dealt with, Steven Anthony opens up on the very first episode of Reinvention of the VJ. There's more stories with Erica and Steve here.
