He garnered a massive following of listeners when he was on the air thanks to his charismatic and captivating interviews — a community that has been noticeably missed on the Vancouver radio scene since he’s been gone.

Experienced comedian and actor and one of Carson’s oldest friends, Jordan McCloskey, will be joining the Kid Carson Show to dish all the dirt listeners want to hear.

“Jordan and I met in grade 10, so the history between us runs very deep. In an era where authenticity reigns supreme, I think we’re going to take radio listeners to a place they haven’t been before, and we’re so excited to join the team at Z95.3,” says Carson.

Crosby McWilliam, Program Director at Z95.3, says that the radio station couldn’t be happier about Carson’s long-awaited return. “Kid Carson has a reputation for creating engaging shows, and we’re thrilled that his triumphant return to the Vancouver media landscape will take place on Z95.3.”
