NEW - Imagination and Memory: Ed Conroy on Toronto’s Golden Age of Kids TV
Description
Before streaming and smartphones, Canadian kids tuned into something magical. Shane Hewitt talks with Ed Conroy about his new book, Imagination: The Golden Age of Toronto Kids TV, a deep dive into five decades of children’s programming that shaped generations. From the 1950s to the early 2000s, Ed chronicles the creativity, community, and homegrown talent that made Canadian TV a cultural cornerstone. They discuss the challenges of preserving this history — much of it unarchived — and the nostalgia that drives fans to reconnect with the shows that raised them. A heartfelt conversation about memory, media, and the importance of protecting our shared cultural story.
