Howard Cogan is a DJ, radio imaging, promo and commercial voice actor. He spent over 20 years spinning the hits on radio stations around Vancouver and Toronto but it was his dry, sardonic reads on beer and fast food commercials that would land him his first imaging gig at Vancouver's Jack 96.9. As the voice of the Jack FM format he's been heard by millions of radio listeners and in thousands of doctor's offices across the U.S. and Canada. On this episode of Benztown Voiceover Stories Loren chats with Howard about... Being pioneers in the early days of radio station web sites when they were just a logo, a phone number, and a dream. Being a life-long tech-geek and building his first radio station at ten years old in his parent's basement. How he's still pissed off about missing the hole in a golf pitch-and-putt game at six years old and how that incident led to his work ethic today. His thoughts on why so many people hate the JACK FM format.
