DiscDrive was an afternoon show on
classical, traditional bluegrass, jazz, and commentary. It aired from 1985 to 2008, in the weekday afternoon drive time
block from 3 to 6 p.m.
During the broadcast aired on February 19, 2008, Jurgen Gothe alluded to a discussion that the show was to end soon. He indicated that the program would go on throughout the spring and summer (of 2008), but after
Jim Byrnes, Sal Ferreras, Jack Duncan and Joseph Pepe Danza.[3]
Shortly thereafter, Gothe returned as host of the new weekend classical music program Farrago,[4] which aired for less than one year.[5]
Gothe died on April 9, 2015, at his home in Vancouver, aged 71.[6]
