About the show

Saturday nights from 7 pm to midnight, the newest member of the Crave Crew, Barbara Beam, hits the airwaves.

Get to know Barbara Beam...

CELEBS WHO SHARE MY BIRTHDAY: Peter Forsberg, Josh Holloway, Carlos Santana.

FAVORITE MUSIC: Everything! I know so cliché, but I love anything from Amy Winehouse and Mary J. And I have a huge Latin music collection which includes Mana, Luis Miguel, Juanes and the list goes on.

FAVORITE CONCERT: Maestro Fresh Wes at the PNE. I was 12 and I won the tickets through a little radio station called Z95 once upon a time. And there are pictures to prove it!

FAVORITE TV SHOW: Robot Chicken, CSI, Miami Ink, Rules of Engagement, 30 Rock, Mad TV, Intelligence, Colbert Report, Jimmy Kimmel, Sex and the City, Mad Men, Ultimate Fighter...and obviously UFC fights.

FAVORITE MOVIE: Napoleon Dynamite, Goodfellas, Alice in Wonderland, Office Space, Legend, Beverly Hills Cop 1, Scarface, Big Trouble in little China, Superbad and Kung Fu Hustle.

WHY DID I GET INTO RADIO: Well, there was no way I was gonna be a CSI with my Math and Science skills...so that didn't happen. So since I love music and wearing flip flops to work...radio naturally fit the criteria.  

FAVORITE SPOT IN VANCOUVER: Wherever my friends happen to be. 

WHEN YOU HAVE FRIENDS VISIT VANCOUVER FROM ELSEWHERE FOR THE FIRST TIME, WHAT'S THE ONE THING YOU INSIST THEY SEE/DO: Lonsdale Quay or English Bay with a gelato.

LITTLE KNOWN FACT ABOUT ME: I watch Young and the Restless religiously, but I'll never admit it in public. Wait, I think I just did. Dam it.

IF I WASN'T IN RADIO, I WOULD BE: a tattoo artist or a chef.

YOU'RE MOST LIKELY TO SEE ME: reading and/or sending a text.

MOST PRIZED POSSESSIONS: My photo albums (but would more likely save my purses if my house was on fire - ladies you know what I'm saying).

GUILTY PLEASURE: The View, The Hills, Bollywood movies, McDonalds fries with mayo and Rum balls from Lee's Bakery at Champlain Mall. Oh yeah, and shopping for shoes and overpriced purses. 

QUOTE ON MY TOMBSTONE: It's a toss up, therefore it'll be a rock, paper scissors situation ... "Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and its better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring" or "If everything's embarrassing then you're never going to have fun" or "Its hot in here."
