Re-Creative Spotlight: Sean PrpickMany years ago I travelled to Saskatchewan to broadcast a couple of remote episodes of the CBC Radio show Q live. A CBC Radio network producer by the name of Sean Prpick met me in Regina’s airport and served as my guide and all-round go-to guy for the time I was there. Sean is one of those guys who, when you first meet them, you like instantly, and then, years later, you STILL like them but have come to respect even more. In Sean’s case, this is because he’s likeable but also helpful, generous and smart. The morning after we broadcast the first remote episode of Q out of a cafe in Moose Jaw, Sean invited me to meet him in the hotel lobby where I was staying. We grabbed breakfast somewhere and then he spent the day (a very windy day, I recall) showing me all around Moose Jaw. We visited the train museum, which was cool, and he took this shot of me in front of Moose Jaw’s giant statue of a moose. Before that day, Sean didn’t know me from a hole in the ground. For all he knew I could have been a complete jerk, but he gave up his Saturday for me out of the goodness of his heart because that’s the kind of guy he is. Just as he gave Mark Rayner and me a couple of hours of his time a few months ago to record this episode of Re-Creative. It’s taken me forever to get around to editing it (too many other projects!) and for that I must apologize to Sean, but at long last here it is. I was excited to talk to Sean because it had been a long, long time since we’d actually spoken, though I had long been reading the thoughtful, insightful pieces he regularly posts on Facebook. And I love getting former CBC Radio colleagues on the podcast, which doesn’t happen often. Also I knew that we shared a passion for audio. Mark kicks the conversation off to a great start, asking each of us about our favourite piece of analog tech. And then Mark indulges Sean and me as we reminisce about our CBC Radio careers—over thirty years for each of us. In Sean’s case, working as a reporter before serving as Saskatchewan’s network producer from 1990 to 2015, where, among other memorable experiences, he got to work with the legendary Peter Gzowski, without whom there would not have been any network producers. We also talk about where the CBC is and where it’s headed, with Mark offering a cogent, dissenting opinion about where he thinks the CBC’s focus ought to be. And we talk about Sean’s current passion, which is something both Mark and I also happen to be interested in: the production of audiobooks, which Sean produces in collaboration with his daughter.
