Winnipeg morning show host announces his conversion ...


Some people won't be surprised. Many saw it coming. But for those who haven't been following the local news, today the announcement was official. Larry Updike, the host of CJOB's Morning Show, has undergone a personal conversion experience. The Easter season is noted for baptisms and confirmations, and Updike joins countless tens of thousands of souls around the world who are rediscovering religion.

In a limited press release on Facebook, Larry Updike (now also known as The Apostle) told his friends and family that he had converted ... from PC to Mac. The Apostle purchased a 20" iMac on April 11 from a local, independent electronics store. He admitted that he finds the conversion experience daunting, but is relying on friends to support him in his newfound faith.

For more information, contact The Apostle at lupdike@cjob.com. Further announcements are expected on the Monday edition of the Morning Show on CJOB.

    Greg is pursuing doctoral studies in postmodern missiology at George Fox University in Portland, OR.

    The RnRP has one amazing wife, two incredible kids, and twelve rockin' guitars. You can find him Sunday mornings down at the church house, or tune into the GodTalk Radio Show on Sunday nights from 9-11 on CJOB 68 or streamed live on the world wide web.

    Nothing will ever replace the old Hockey Night in Canada theme song, but I felt it was my patriotic duty to enter Hard Rubber into CBC's anthem challenge. Press the play button (above) or check out Hard Rubber being featured on Larry Updike's morning show on CJOB!

    Tune into Larry's show weekday mornings from 5:30-9:00 a.m. on 680 AM or www.cjob.com.

    Guitar players! Here's a free transcription of Hard Rubber.
