Simone 3pm – 7pm

Simone has been on the air in Vancouver for the past 18 years in both radio and television, so she will tell you she started when she was 10. She’s danced in a Bollywood film as well as performed standup comedy on stage in Vancouver and Los Angeles, so she promises to keep you entertained as well as informed.

Simone lives in Ladner with her husband and two boys and in her free time, volunteers her time on an advisory board member for both BC Children’s Hospital and the BCIT Radio Arts and Entertainment Program.  She also loves to talk so be sure to start up a conversation if you see her out and about at community events.

Q&A with Simone

What’s a book that you’ve read recently that you absolutely loved?
So many to pick from as I really enjoy reading with our Breeze Book Club, but one I really enjoyed recently was The Whispers, by Canadian Author Ashley Audrain. We even had a chance to chat with the author on our Relaxing Reads podcast.

If you could have dinner with any three musicians who would they be and why?
Adele, she just seems like she has so much wisdom, and it would be amazing to be in her company. Madonna would also be someone who has just had so many life experiences would be neat to sit down with her while listening to 4 decades of her music. Rihanna also is so talented not only musically but with her fashion and makeup line as well. She would be another great person to spend time with.

What’s your favorite way to spend a day off?
Probably just a lazy day at home as I rarely get those with a busy schedule having two boys in various sports. Taking an hour to drink my coffee and cozied up watching a show or reading a book.

Is there a particular song you always turn to when you need a mood boost?
So many to choose from, at work definitely Caribbean Queen from Billy Ocean or Madonna’s Holiday.

What is your favourite way to relax?
Spending time with friends and family, enjoying a meal together with them or some kind of outdoor activity like biking.

If you had to choose one word to describe yourself what would it be?
Spontaneous!
