About Party Line Show

John C. Dvorak had a vision for a podcast.  

 

He reminisced about his childhood: the magic of picking up the heavy receiver of the Bell telephone, to eavesdrop on the unexpected conversations of people on the “party line”.  Later, there was his fascination with Joe Pyne’s groundbreaking live call-in radio shows. Followed by Art Bell with hushed callers who often revealed something strange. 

“Long-time listener, first time caller.”

John was fascinated by Canadian TV’s “Speakers Corner” where anyone could activate a camera (by dropping a Loonie into a slot) and record whatever they wanted. He liked the community it created. Just as John always enjoyed the errant conversations encountered along his long and storied life.

He wanted to capture humanness with an interactive adventure podcast. As he explained it, "It would have the unexpected, raw, high-energy entertainment of people just being people." 

Magic he knew would be fascinating. With his thoughts, this vision we are creating the Party Line Show: multiple hosts, unexpected interviews, crowd engagement, and, of course, media deconstruction

​

In his honor, and to continue his legacy,

his family decided to proceed with making this show come to fruition.

Thanks for calling!
