During this time he also worked on other projects, such as a weekly radio broadcast on the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's Dayshift series called The Neighbours, the CBC pilot 110 Lombard St., and the radio show Bob Normal and the Forces of Chaos, which later aired on Toronto's The Fan 590, which he wrote, produced and performed.[4]
