Today will see the very last episode of the CBC Radio program SoundXchange, curated and hosted by the inimitable Kelley Jo Burke. This is a profound loss for Saskatchewan art and artists. Over the last decade, Kelley Jo has hired me to improvise and perform characters, narrate short stories and poetry, create and produce radio plays, write and perform comedy, and has broadcast all this work across the province. She has done this for countless other writers, musicians, actors, poets, and playwrights as well. SO MUCH of my development as a creator is due to the amount of time and care KJ invested in my work and career. I cannot overstate how lucky I am to have had these chances, I would not have had these opportunities to grow and learn and create without her. She made me better year after year and continued to encourage me to make more stuff. I am so, so grateful to you Kelley Jo. Your effort and love did not go unnoticed and it mattered a lot. I was honoured to work for you, I would do it a thousand times again, thank you.
