The Zone @ 91-3 is a radio station in Victoria BC. We're a station made for YOU, by real people here in Victoria.
What would happen if you put a genius and a comedian in the same room for 4 hours everyday? We have no idea, but Dylan & Jason get to the bottom of life’s tough questions; like how often to wash your jeans and if it’s OK to eat hard boiled eggs in front of other people. Despite how it may sound, Dylan & Jason actually do like each other. Kinda like a couple where one person married up – they’re locked in a constant battle to prove it wasn’t them.
Dylan vs. The World
8:15 am Dylan vs. the World. Where you can challenge Dylan to a game of Wit & Knowledge, with your host Jason Lamb! Brought to you by Wheaton GM.
Kirsten’s hat closet is overflowing. There’s a graphic design hat, a video hat, a photography, teaching, and social media hat, and— look! There’s a big ol’ radio hat!
Aside from her invaluable help in the geek department with Bud, Kirsten wakes you up on the weekends with her love of music, Star Wars, and anything gold and shiny.

How do you accurately describe a guy with a flaming pie tattoo? Pol describes himself as a combination between Han Solo, “Handsome” Dan from Wayne’s World 2, and Hedonismbot from Futurama. We kinda think of Pol like a Chicago-style pizza; covered in cheese, stuffed with awesomeness, and deeper than you think. He’s totally a guy you could pal around with, but make sure you never leave your phone lying around unlocked and unattended or Pol will update your status to some profound thought followed by #PoopPoopPoopBanana.
You never know what Jenny has up her sleeve, *KABLAMMO* What was that? Too late, you missed it. Jenny proves to us that “the West is the Best” as she regales us with tales of life, magic tricks, and awkward stories all while somehow keeping Pol in line.
4:50 Shoutouts! Text your shoutout to Pol & Jenny at 250.475.0913 and they’ll read it out on air!!
B-B-B-BONUS! Get the PJ Party Podcast with Pol & Jenny wherever you get your podcasts! A great way to catch up on the week that was in the Afternoon Zone or just take the hi-jinks with you!

Jade enjoys the finer things in life: bicycles, animals, ska music, and playing Animal Crossing. She wandered into the Zone to host a “My Turn” in 2010, and we liked her so much . . . we kept her!

Quintin is the literal figurative baby of the radio station. But despite being the youngest Zoner, his experience behind the scenes as The Zone Ranger, play-by-playing for hockey games, and running the controls for years before we unveiled his just-past-puberty voice, means that Q is a voice you can trust.
He might still talk about farts and stuff on occasion but, for the most part, trust.

Some say that when he sleeps, his snores sound like a dial-up modem. Some say the only way to defeat him is ↑, ↑, ↓, ↓, ←, →, ←, →, B, A, Start. All we know is he’s called webmeister Bud! You’ve probably seen him out capturing photos, playing with drones, or compulsively cleaning stray hairs of others’ shirts. What keeps him going faster than a 56/kbps modem in 1999? Sugar. It’s sugar.

Whatever the episode, you’re definitely going to learn something that you might not find anywhere else. Trust us on this. Brought to you by Strathcona Hotel.
The Promotion Department is more than the free stuff department. Anytime, anywhere you see The Zone out in the world, Promo has dotted all the T’s and crossed all the I’s to make it happen. And the person helming the proverbial Promo ship is Lauren, which means that she’s likely smarter than any one of us, as well as an excellent juggler.

The man, the myth, the bossman. Listen for Bossman Johnny casually walking into Zone control unannounced to ‘check up’ and make sure the DJs aren’t getting into too much trouble. If you want to get on his good side, ask about the Denver Broncos. If you want to hear him talk for hours on end – ask about “vocal dynamics.” He also sings a mean version of our national anthem.
