In Memory of Jen Eisler

On the occasion of Jen Eisler’s passing yesterday, the CJTR community mourns the loss of a bright, friendly and energetic human. Jen was a host and former employee of Regina Community Radio and stayed connected with the station long after her time on air. She was also a passionate and resilient music publicist who brought many talented artists to the airwaves and helped to guide their careers with excellent advice. We extend our deepest condolences to Jen’s family and friends.

Jen created a number of beautifully crafted written pieces and legacy playlists on her blog; we recommend you revisit her musical loves as you remember her: https://jeneislerblog.com/
