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.

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.

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.

You can follow Adrian Underhill on his social medias here.
