🎙️A History Of Confidence Under Pressure, Live Communication for Podcasting / Broadcasting Mastery with Todd Hancock | Real English Conversations for Global Professionals

In this episode of the Real English Conversations Podcast, host Curtis Davies sits down with Todd Hancock, one of Vancouver's Canada's most recognized radio personalities, a former longtime afternoon host on CFOX 99.3 The Fox (2002–2014), and creator of the hugely successful Toddcast Podcast, which continues to grow across Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, and beyond.

Todd began his radio career in 1996 and spent nearly two decades in one of Canada's most competitive markets, where he interviewed major artists, navigated unpredictable live broadcasts, and developed the confidence, speed, and storytelling skills necessary to thrive under the pressure of live radio.

Todd also worked alongside previous Real English Conversations guest Darren "Danger" Grieve, giving listeners a behind-the-scenes look at the chemistry, teamwork, and quick decision-making required when everything is happening live, in real time, in front of an audience.
