FONG ON FOOD
12:00 Noon to 1:00 pm.

In memory of Nathan Fong, who passed away suddenly last week, we will be broadcasting a special memorial episode of Fong on Food. In August 2019 Nathan Fong was interviewed by Don Shafer, for Co-op Radio's The Conversation Lab. Nathan and Don had worked together at Roundhouse, and when Nathan walked into our station he knew immediately that he wanted to get back on the air with his own show.
