Overtime with K and Crox (02-16-18)

Posted on by Posted in General

It’s the Winter Olympics.  You probably haven’t watched much because it’s all happening at night here but Sean and I have got you covered with all the updates.  Including some ‘LIVE’ ones to the time that we are recording.

We also break down the AUS Hockey Playoffs for Men and Women, and look ahead at the University Cup which is coming to Fredericton this March.

Big Olympic Congrats from us to Ted-Jan Bloemen, for his Silver Medal in 5000m Long Track Speed Skating.  His family is from Bathurst!  No, I don’t care he’s billed from Calgary, he’s one of ours!

RadioU Episode 1: Romance, work and #metoo

Posted on by Posted in RadioU, STU Lunchbox

RadioU is a documentary series created by STU Journalism students. Each episode features a “major” and a “minor”, two topics that are somehow related. This series airs every Wednesday at noon, replacing an episode of The Lunchbox.

On this Valentine’s Day episode, the St. Thomas University radio journalism class does a double major in social psychology and politics, with a minor in anthropology.

The show looks at how the metoo movement is changing romance in the workplace, questions why young people are having less sex than their grandparents, and examines how open and transgender  relationships are advancing the parameters of romantic love. Guests include SallyWells, a workplace consultant in Fredericton.

Producer/Hosts: Cassidy Chisholm and Isabelle Leger

Coming up on Feb. 21 on Radio U: Amazon vs. Fredericton

The St. Thomas University journalism class majors in economics and minors in marketing this week with a look at the evolution of retail and how local businesses can adapt and thrive.

Interview – Bondo chats with Adrian Underhill

Posted on by Posted in Anything Goes, Music Reviews
“Playing music is a life long weaving road that sometimes you end up in surprising places.”

Toronto’s Adrian Underhill gets vulnerable with his debut album CU Again, released February 9, 2018 via Indica Records. With such honest, sweet, and almost confessional lyrics set to soulful pop melodies it’s no wonder that they’re making waves throughout the Canadian music scene.

Listen in while Bondo chats with Underhill about the new record, their mutual love for Savage Garden, and what it feels like to finally release such a personal project into the world.

Album Review: Adrian Underhill – CU AGAIN

Posted on by Posted in Anything Goes, Music Reviews

Toronto’s Adrian Underhill‘s new album  CU Again blends together pop and R&B sounds to create some chill, smooth, baby-making jams. Working with famed producer Kindness, who has worked with both Solange and pop Goddess Robyn, added a subtle electronic element to the record which gives some tracks a little funk undertone, even disco-esque at times.

It’s also nice to hear a record that’s sweet and about love rather than the trials of failed relationships and how awful the world can be to live in. And what’s most impressive is that this is Underhill’s debut album! With such a strong project launching his solo career I’m really excited to see what comes next.

Recommended Tracks: Cruel; Weather; As I Think Of Something Different

CU AGAIN is out February 9, 2018 via Indica Records.

Run For Your Life! – the psychobilly rock show of zombie sharks

 

Same logo, same time, same host, new music!

Here we go, into the month of February once again to scale past the challenge and provide all you zombie lovers some solid tunes to listen to. We revisited a few older albums this week (is 2016 old?) while also running with some new singles released from bands that are show favourites. I’m still eagerly awaiting a few releases from bands I only found out about a few months into the show back when it all started.

Anyway, keep up the requests! I’ve been SUPER busy this week so I haven’t been able to get to them, but I have time set aside before next week’s episode. We may even get an all-request episode in at this rate. Craziness!
