Rickards said one of the highlights of his career was having his parents in attendance for the grand opening of 91.5 the Beat’s new building in Kitchener, and watched him perform his show at work.“It started in the afternoon and it kicked into the evening. When it was 7 o’clock and got everything going, he had the biggest smile on his face.”top news stories from Canada and around the world.
Rickards often meets with listeners outside the studio, sometimes at a radio station event or at a gas station while filling the tank. He appreciates those who listen to his show every day and doesn’t take them for granted. “To have him share his energy, love for music, local communities, and our listeners is something we’re thrilled about.”
