Jeff Douglas - Canadian Actor and CBC Radio Host

A Chat with Heart - with Christina Martin

Christina chats with Jeff Douglas - the host of CBC Radio One's Mainland Nova Scotia's afternoon show Mainstreet - about acting, making mistakes, imposter syndrome, and his role keeping Atlantic Canadians company during the aftermath of Hurricane Fiona in Fall 2022.
He's a born storyteller with a background in theatre. Born in Truro, N.S., Jeff Douglas was the host of the award-winning unscripted series Ancestors in the Attic, Working Over Time, and Things That Move. Jeff's received three Gemini nominations, and a Kari Award for his popular commercial work — which includes playing Joe Canadian in the now-legendary "I Am Canadian" campaign. He was the co-host of As It Happens and the voice of CBC TV's The Stats of Life.
