Broadcast Dialogue – The Podcast dives deep into the ever-changing world of radio, television, and digital media. Each episode features interviews with industry leaders, innovators, and rising stars, exploring everything from the latest technological advancements to the ongoing impact of broadcasting on society.
Rob Hopkins - aka "Radio Rob" has used his DIY ethos to become a pioneering force in community broadcasting and open-source innovation in Canada's North. He's the founder of Yukon community stations CJUC Whitehorse and the low-power CFET-FM in Tagish, Yukon, as well as OpenBroadcaster - a web-based, open-source system to run community radio and TV broadcast transmitters.
He joins us on Broadcast Dialogue - The Podcast ahead of World Radio Day 2026, with this year's theme "AI and radio," underscored by the tagline "AI is a tool, not a voice."
We talk to Hopkins - who was named to Yukon's Hall of Innovators last year - about his work with Indigenous communities, local radio's enduring ability to connect, and how OpenBroadcaster is using AI.
OpenBroadcaster will host their World Radio Day online event - An Insightful Look at Radio & Artificial Intelligence - beginning at 2 p.m. Yukon time on Friday, Feb. 13.
