Maureen Holloway returns to the Women in Media Podcast to update host Sarah Burke on another journey through breast cancer, reflections on her career in Canadian broadcasting, and her involvement in the Jennifer Valentyne human rights tribunal. 'Mo' shares her experiences with workplace harassment, calls out the behaviour of former colleagues, and discusses the importance of supporting women loudly, especially now. Of course, there are many laughs along the way. All in favour of Mo becoming a stand up comic, raise your hand... More About Maureen Holloway: Maureen Holloway is a fan favourite on the Toronto radio scene. After longtime stints at CKFM/Mix/Virgin 99.9, Q107, 98.1 CHFI and now Newstalk 1010, Mo is jumping into the podcast world feet first, hosting the Women of Ill Repute podcast with her dear pal Wendy Mesley. Throughout her long and varied career, Mo has received many honours, including the 2009 HOPE Award, the Canadian Association of Broadcaster’s Gold Ribbon Award for Humour, and the 2018 Rosalie Award, honouring women in broadcasting who have blazed new trails. Diagnosed with a rare form of breast cancer in 2005, Maureen is an outspoken advocate for women’s health and social issues and is in frequent demand as a lecturer and keynote speaker, where her topics encompass women, humour and wellness. Now cancer-free, she plays golf and piano, both quite badly, and likes to cook, travel, drink wine, and laugh, often all at once.
