A few minutes before nine this morning, we went live with The 17th Annual Humble & Fred Christmas Show at humbleandfred.com. Plan A was to have Odeo host it all. We have their player embedded on the page for streaming and the podcast and MP3 link were pointing to
If you're wondering if every article in The Toronto Star makes it online, the answer is no. Today, for instance, there's a quick SPOTLIGHT mention of the 17th Annual Humble and Fred Christmas Podcast on page A31, but it didn't find its way to thestar.com. Here's a pic of
I already blogged the crap out of last Saturday morning. Head over there if you're curious about the Humble & Fred Holiday Reunion show. On Friday morning the entire 57 minute show will be available at humbleandfred.com. In that lengthy account of the morning's festivities I failed to mention
If you were too lazy to read my lengthy recollection of the 17th Annual Humble & Fred Christmas Show recording, you can listen to this little promo Dan Duran cooked up.
I was lucky enough to be a little slice of broadcast history this weekend. Regular visitors to this site have seen me write about The Humble & Fred radio show. It began in 1989 on CFNY-FM (later renamed Edge 102) and was the morning show I awoke to until it
Here's a quick Humble and Fred hit from holiday seasons past. It's short but sweet. I'd still like to know what this countdown is for. Other promo clips in this seasonal series: Little Drummer BoyWe Three Kings IILittle Town of BethlehemSanta Claus Is Coming To TownCarol of the BellsWe Three
HumbleandFred.com looks awfully cryptic this morning. Head on over and check it out. There's a count down, currently showing 9 days, 21 hours, 53 minutes, and 33 seconds left. What are they counting down to? What's happening over there on the morning of the 22nd? What's with that creepy
If you've never heard of Humble and Fred, this series of holiday themed jingles from the duo must be boring the crap out of you. They were on the air in this market for seventeen years and it was their morning show that woke me up every weekday morning of
All month long I'm streaming some old holiday themed audio from the Humble and Fred morning show. This jingle is yet another take on We Three Kings. Other promo clips in this seasonal series: Little Town of BethlehemSanta Claus Is Coming To TownCarol of the BellsWe Three KingsLet It Snow

I mentioned I'll be sharing all fourteen holiday season Humble and Fred radio show promo bits I have throughout this month. I shared the first one yesterday and here's number two. This one is is pretty generic, but I'm saving the better ones for later in the month.
I've got hundreds of Humble and Fred radio show promo sound bites. About a dozen of them are designed to air during the holiday season. Since there is no Humble and Fred show this December, I'll be sharing these throughout the month. Don't tell the guys, I don't need a
My buddy Humble Howard has a new book out. It's called "The Slime That Men Do" and it includes awful tales about dudes sent to him by his radio audience at Mix 99.9. A portion of the proceeds is going to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation and you can
Humble Howard Glassman is not only the morning radio personality I awoke to throughout high school and university, but he's also a very decent chap. 392 comments on this entry confirm I wasn't the only one enjoying his sense of humour and folksy charm with Fred Patterson on The Humble
As noted in this riveting entry on humblehoward.com, I spent much of the day visiting Humble Howard Glassman at his palatial Oakville estate. I'm now able to deliver The Humble Report. The dude's fully domesticated. His puppy graduated from kindergarten this morning (not a joke), he makes a mean
Ok, the baton has been passed. Humble Howard, long time local morning radio personality, now has his own blog. I installed and configured Movable Type, designed his templates and gave him one last push. I don't know how much he'll share in his blog or if he'll just use it
I came this close to being referred to in The National Post as an "internet wizard". Humble Howard Glassman has been writing editorials for the Post's Toronto section, and he recently submitted a column to his editor that referred to me by name, heaped praise upon me and gave a
Have you seen Stephen Colbert's send up of Wikipedia? It's very funny, but is it true? When I'm doing research, Wikipedia is often my first stop. Sadly, no Wikipedia page linked directly to this site, until now. Since anyone can edit a Wikipedia entry, I visited the Howard Glassman page
I have fond memories of the Humble & Fred morning show on CFNY Edge 102, and those memories sparked this entry back in 2004. A year later, I was saddened to learn Fred Patterson had been released of his duties at Mix 99.9 and Humble was Fred-less. On July
It's official. We have a Humble and Fred reunion. Unfortunately, it's not on the radio, it's on this page. Moments ago, Fred Patterson left this comment, complementing several comments left by Humble Howard. With Freddie P. checking in, it really is your best way to communicate with the guys. Speaking
The "Humble Howard, Are You Okay?" entry just received its 200th comment. About 198 of them are very positive. It sounds like a number of Torontonians are missing that familiar voice each day and I think I can help. In my collection of MP3s I've got a few CFNY 102.
On what some are calling the Humble Appreciation Society, a comment was left this morning by a chap named Doug. He wrote something that struck a nerve with me. He openly yearned for "a CFNY for grownups". Yes! That's exactly what I'm looking for, or listening for, if you will.
Although this blog has been around for almost four years, I only started accepting comments in early February. That's almost six months ago, but today a single entry received more legitimate comments than any other entry in the history of this site. Throughout the day, well over a thousand fans
