A Career In The Weeklies was created by Marc Gorcey in Toronto, Canada. It was released on Toronto-based Internet radio station UMFM.net, from 2003 to 2005.

I was a fan of the series – it left a big impression on me. But a few years later, I noticed it was no longer available online. So I contacted Marc Gorcey, and he gave me permission to re-release the show, so that more people would be able to experience it.

I am very happy to be able to present this show to you on The Overnightscape Underground Archive.

Listen to the whole series now, on Archive.org.
