Shelley Harder |
Rock trivia anyone? Shelley Harder has been a music nut since her parents introduced her to Classic Rock when she was a wee wisp of a lass. So, it seemed only natural that she take her love for music and share it with the world by becoming a radio jock! Shelley traveled to Saskatoon for half a year to get her degree in Broadcasting before returning to Alberta where she started work a day after her graduation. Shelley hosts the Drive Home Show and loves nothing better than to talk about her one true love... music! She was born and raised in Vulcan and still calls the little town she grew up in her home. When she's not talking about music, she's learning about it or playing it on her trusty guitar. Radio Jock, Closet Musician, Songwriter and one crazy “Who” head! Is there anything she can't do? According to her... no, there isn't.

Troy Laboucane |
A life-long resident of the Foothills, Troy is thrilled to be back. He's even more excited to be working in radio. At a very young age the dream was radio. Growing up with TV shows like WKRP only added fuel to the fire. After years of working in a studio that was responsible for English dialog replacement for Japanese cartoons and video games, working as a wedding DJ and hosting Karaoke, the dream came true.
The wait, however, wasn't uneventful. The long and winding road that led back home was lined with more fun than one person should have. Over the years, Troy has met many of the artists that are being played on the Eagle. He even had the opportunity to sing Karaoke with one particular legend of Canadian Classic Rock. But... (to quote a classic children's program) that's another story.
During the week, Troy can be found producing commercials. On the weekends you'll find him on the air, living the dream.
