TESTIMONIALS
"The Kasey Ferguson Show is a witty and insightful show that is both educational and entertaining. My interview with Kasey is probably the most in depth and well researched interview I've ever done. He deserves all of his success"

“The Kasey Ferguson Show just gets better. Kasey Ferguson is a Kingston fixture - songwriter, musician, entrepreneur, impresario (concert presenter and supporter of other artists), social activist, and of course broadcaster - but his interests extend far beyond Kingston's city limits. Stop by and give an episode a listen. You won't regret it.”
