Saving the Station

Who doesn’t love community radio? What could possibly go wrong when you start one from scratch?

In this solo show, Jim recounts the wild launch of a volunteer-run FM station in small town Ontario — and the betrayal, mutiny, sabotage and dead air that followed. What begins as an idealistic dream turns into something stranger, funnier and darker than expected.

A story of ambition, community and collapse, Saving the Station brings a cast of outsized characters to life in a tale where the signal goes out, but the damage keeps spreading.
