Shelagh Rogers in 2007

Serendipity in December 2022 delivered podcast host Lynn Thompson to her 1972 journal, which, as you will hear, inspired her to revisit her phone conversation in 2007 with CBC radio host Shelagh Rogers, thanks to Andrew Binks, writer, editor, and published author, who was on the same swim team as Lynn 50 years ago.

Okay, what??

In 2007, Shelagh was the host of Sounds Like Canada on CBC and later, for 15 years, she hosted The Next Chapter. The connection is that she wrote a glowing review for one of Andrew's books.

(A P.S. to posting this conversation: Shelagh's final broadcast of hosting that show was on June 24, 2023 after a "thrilling" 43-year broadcast career.)

Lynn's phone call with Shelagh on the "live" Living on Purpose broadcast on CHLY almost didn't happen, as you will hear. Thankfully it did happen, as you will also hear! A few minutes of a frame around their 13-minute conversation.

Thanks for listening to The On Purpose Podcast (twin of Living on Purpose). Appreciation for Black Fedora with Sneaky Jazz and Carol Welsman with a glimpse of "New Day" from her album Inclined.
