Mary McCoy has known what she wanted to do for a living since she was three years old.

“I would listen to the radio on Saturday night, out on … the front porch of my house. My daddy was working on a farm, and we’d sit there and listen to the Grand Ole Opry,” the 85-year-old Texan radio presenter told As It Happens host Nil Köksal.

“I wanted to sing and make records. But most of all, I wanted my own show on radio.”
