About Laxer Live:
The Ipsos-Reid polling firm recently found that Canadian dads identify more with Homer Simpson than they do with Dr. Phil. Dan's take on the issue? Here's a Canadian polling firm, trying to gauge the Canadian sense of humour, asking Canadian dads... which Americancultural icon they most resemble. Are there no Canadian cultural icons worth emulating? Mr. Dressup? The Friendly Giant? Red Green?...
This is the type of thing that crosses Dan's mind, the kind of topic you're most likely to hear on Laxer Live. The show is like a column that you contribute to. Not like writing a letter to the editor, mind you. More like you have a hand in the finished product, a culmination of our collective points of view. Your call to Laxer Live, your insight, is the thousandth word that completes the picture.
Dan Laxer was born and raised in Montreal, and has been a part of Montreal radio for just over a decade, getting his foot caught in the door of CJAD's sister station Mix 96. Since then he's limped around the building as a producer for almost every segment of the CJAD broadcast day, working with several announcers from the late Mark Rennie in the wee hours right on up to Andrew Carter in the morning. Along the way he's pocketed a master's degree in English (not like shoplifting or anything, he earned it.), published poetry, played music in bars, acted on stage, gotten married and fathered the two most beautiful and brilliant children on the face of the Earth.
Dan still hasn't figured out why these bios are always written in the 3rd person.
Laxer Live, with Dan Laxer, weekday afternoons 2:00-4:00 on CJAD.
