Just Chill with Oliver George #15 - George Stroumboulopoulos

Join Oliver as he has the honour of interviewing the legendary George Stroumboulopoulos! Well known for many projects, George's career has sincerely touched and impacted people around the globe. From his roots in radio and as a MuchMusic VJ, to his revered talk show that ran for a decade. George shows no signs of slowing down, as he continues to be involved with fantastic, new initiatives.

A lot is covered in this nearly 2-hour conversation! George reflects on his early memories at Much (including the birth of 'The Punk Show'), and his profound love and admiration for Rick 'The Temp' Campanelli. George also shares his thoughts and feelings regarding the Don Cherry firing controversy, and Canadian Hockey culture at large. The chat touches on the many amazing musical performances that George has been privy to, including the ones in his very own living room on his show, 'House of Strombo'!

Oliver inquires about George's choice years ago to embrace a straight-edge lifestyle. Learning that this decision was a large factor in shaping George's unflinching and unparalleled work ethic. From socioeconomics and evironmentalism, to veganism and intermittent fasting. This discussion is one that you won't want to miss!
