About to join @billgood980 one last time. We've done about 500 or so interviews with each other over the years. A legend departs. #bcpoli

Near the end of the show Mike Harcourt came on and they exchanged barbs before Bill said that he hopes he's as good at being retired as Mike is, insinuating that he'll be working beyond his time at CKNW. He'll be missed on 980AM but hopefully we'll see good news soon about where he ends up... beyond his patio with a martini, of course.
Best wishes, Bill! Thanks for being one of Vancouver's most awesome.
