This week I host someone I used to stay up late to watch as a teenage sports fan – broadcast legend Mark Hebscher. Since his days hosting the innovative Sportsline, Mark has done a number of other things including having written a new book entitled The Greatest Athlete You’ve Never Heard Of. 

Mark is also a massive music fan, and we chat about all sorts of stuff – Mick Taylor, Paradigm Phantoms, being introduced to Los Lobos, why catchers paint their fingernails, and how he got to hear an early version of The Hip’s “Ahead By A Century” as it was being written by the band. 

Hebsy’s playlist:

King Crimson – 21st Century Schizoid Man

Traffic – The Low Spark of High Heeled Shoes

The Rolling Stones – Can’t You Hear Me Knocking

Los Lobos – Theresa

The Tragically Hip – Ahead By A Century
