Welcome to Season Two of "For the Love of Winter," A weekly podcast that explores our cultural love affair with winter sports, the mountains, and of course the people who are shaped and forever changed by their love of winter.

This week, Kendra sits down with CJAY 92 radio host Jesse Modz for a fun and honest conversation about life behind the mic and what makes Alberta’s rock scene so special. A born storyteller, Jesse shares his path from a struggling student to a Calgary radio staple. Reflecting on the power of Canadian music, the unexpected moments that happen on air, and the behind the scenes realities of the industry. From tales of Nickelback sing-alongs to why Alberta’s small towns have his heart, Jesse opens up about what it means to connect with a community, love where you live, and stay grounded in a fast paced world. 

What is it you love about winter? Is it the thrill, the beauty, the stillness? As Canadian’s winter is part of our DNA. The snowy season is something that unites from coast to coast. For The Love of Winter, is a podcast that celebrates Canada’s longest season.
