Michael Finnerty

Michael Finnerty is a Canadian journalist and former CBC radio host known for his engaging storytelling and love for food. After a successful career hosting morning shows in Montreal, Finnerty embarked on a transformative journey in 2019, taking a sabbatical in London, England, where he became an apprentice at Mons Cheesemongers. Through this unexpected path, he discovered a new passion for cheese and community, ultimately co-presenting a weekly show on Ici Radio-Canada Première while working part-time in London. His experiences inspired his memoir, 'The Cheese Cure: How Comté and Camembert Fed My Soul,' where he reflects on the connections between cheese, joy, and personal growth.
