Radio Active '22: The Future Of Audio & A Few Other Things

By Doug Thompson

For the first time since the Covid pandemic knocked the world for a loop, Canadian Music Week was back for its 40th anniversary.  The first two days (June 7th and 8th) were sessions on all things audio.


The first day was live, in-person sessions with an enthusiastic group of broadcasters and podcasters.

The keynote speaker on the first day was radio futurologist and podcaster James Cridland, who discussed Radio’s Bright Future: Ideas for Canada from Around the World. Cridland also led the day's first session, “Building A Strategy for The Future,” where he discussed the art of collaboration and breaking through with new avenues of thinking.  Ross Davies had this to say about Cridland: “James never fails to bring forward new and fascinating ideas, concepts and suggestions. He never disappoints. This was certainly the case again this year at the CMW Radio Active conference in Toronto.  His opening keynote and follow-up panel discussion set the tone for a terrific day of industry discussion and knowledge sharing.”

604 Records Co-Founder Jonathan Simkin Says Carly Rae Jepsen Recorded a Whole Unreleased Album Around 'Call Me Maybe'

The British Columbia-native was signed to Interscope Records, but was reportedly tasked to make a brand new record with all new producers.

An unreleased Carly Rae Jepsen project exists out in the music ether, according to Jonathan Simkin.

In a recent podcast episode of I Hate Simkin, the 604 Records co-founder reveals that prior to the No. 1 success of Jepsen’s “Call Me Maybe,” an entire project had been made — but it didn’t make it to the masses.
