For the week of Sept. 8, 2024:
A reporter’s reporter. A storyteller like no other in B.C.
Mike McCardell delivered his final Last Word report and retired on Aug. 30.
The 80-year-old made a career of telling extraordinary stories about everyday people. It all began in his native New York with the Daily News. The late-1960s and early-1970s were the glory days of newspapers and crime reporting. It was also a dangerous time to raise a family in New York.
McCardell came to Vancouver with his family in 1973 to work for the Vancouver Sun. He switched to BCTV (now Global BC) three years later. In 2013, he joined CTV News Vancouver. Along the way, he authored 13 books from Harbour Publishing.
Mike McCardell is Bob Mackin’s guest on this edition of thePodcast.
Plus, this week’s Pacific Rim and Pacific Northwest headlines.
