Diversions is April’s Show of the Month!
What made you start your show? I started the show 23 years ago when a friend who volunteered for CHSR back in 1990 talked about a possible opening for a classical music show – knowing my passion for classical music, he talked me into meeting the then program director (Steve Staples) and I did a

FunDrive Concert At the Wilsler’s Room
Saturday we had an event to raise money for CHSR’s FunDrive at the Wilsler’s room. That’s a nice spot in the Capital Complex. It’s a cozy room with really nice acoustics, decent bar prices, and a nice layout for performers and spectators. I think the only odd part is that the entrance is on the
CHSR Evil Dead Marathon – mini review
Under the Radar Films – Evil Dead Trilogy (Sam Rami) When I was a child growing up in the 80s and early 90s, horror films were what brought my family unit together (except Dad who hated them). A confusing time indeed, both my grandmother and mother were obsessed with slasher films and

Getting the word out about FunDrive at the Market
Not everyone in town knows that CHSR is holding our FunDrive right now, heck, a lot of people in Fredericton don’t know we exist. To remedy this some of our volunteers decided to go down to the Market on Saturday in bold costumes. Adam, host of Fredericton This Week and The Cutting Room Floor had
FunDrive Hot Dog BBQ
Friday we had a Hot Dog BBQ to celebrate and raise funds for FunDrive. It was the first event of our 2013 FunDrive and it was a success. The weatherman had predicted good weather and yet because this is Fredericton, the weather turned. Friday morning we woke to flurries and snow still on the ground.
Slam Poetry at the Cellar
I had never been to The Cellar, the pub on the UNB Fredericton campus, before Tuesday night. In fact, until recently, I didn’t know there was even a bar in the Student Union Building. However, upon discovering that there was going to be a Poetry Slam Competition, I decided that it may be a place
