Also, we feature some of the strange, new things out there in the vast, wide world. So grab a friend, turn up that radio knob, download a podcast directly to your brain-pan and.. I clearly don’t know how this works.
Just enjoy the episode. If you have a track that I need to play, fire it off to me at RunForYourLifeCHSR@gmail.com ! I will give it a spin and see how it goes, you never know! All the submissions I’ve received lately have been amazing.

The stage, the lights, the set, the actors: we can be mistaken and think that everything we see at a play is all that there is, but there’s much more going on behind the scenes…
My guest today is Melissa, the stage manager in the upcoming Theatre UNB production of George F. Walker’s Criminals In Love. Melissa is working on her last production as a student with Theatre UNB, a situation filled with excitement and some sadness. We talk about working furiously behind the scenes to build the movements, set and structure which carries the play to the audience.
Criminals In Love shows at UNB’s Memorial Hall from November 1 to November 4, 7:30pm nightly. Tickets are $14 for regular tickets, $10 for seniors/the underwaged or $8 for students.

What if we told you a North Carolinain mountain man, Tim Peeler, claims to have seen Bigfoot. Now, what if we add in that Mr. Peeler claims Bigfoot came back for a second time. How about if we tell you that Mr. Peeler had a physical altercation with Bigfoot!
Listen in while Marvin, John and Erin discuss the specifics of this case, play you the actual 911 phone call and Fox News television report, then learn that this isn’t the first time a cryptid like Sasquatch has been reported in the area!
In the last section of the episode the three PROF members debate whether Sasquatch is even real, or biologically even could be real.

With all that the modern world changes, human beings remain inspired and involved in the most primitive of reactions — like Criminals In Love.
My guests today are Jillian and Alex, two of the actors in the upcoming Theatre UNB production of George F. Walker’s Criminals In Love. Alex plays the lead character, Junior, who turns to his love, Gail (played by Jillian) to get him out of trouble. We talk about creating a couple on stage and how the actors get themselves ready, and hear a scene from the play where things are starting to go wrong in Junior’s life.
Criminals In Love shows at UNB’s Memorial Hall from November 1 to November 4, 7:30pm nightly. Tickets are $14 for regular tickets, $10 for seniors/the underwaged or $8 for students.

One of the most important things that can be given to a human being is opportunity, and one of the most tragic failings is inequality.
My guest today is Rachel, a 4th-year student at St Thomas University. She was granted the opportunity to step into the shoes of a dream job through Plan Canada‘s #GirlsBelongHere campaign, which seeks to empower young women and provide them with support and encouragement, and combat inequality. We talked about her experience with the placement in Ontario’s Provincial Advocate for Youth and her thoughts on inequality and positive change to overcome it.

I am AD Springer, your musical tour guide to all things future funk, chiptune, synthpop, and other reach out and grab you music in the electronica sphere on The Electric Metropolis. Come tour the city of sound with me from around the world! On this tour you will hear some hard chips, some soft chips, and all that resides in between. I like’em both, I think -at least this time- you will too. Though don’t forget there is always a bit of party time left on the tour.

The chips are such tiny things that can disappear into the palm of your hand; but with a few complex commands, the world of sound opens up and crafts a city sprawl so wide that the tour will always hear fresh sounds and new vistas every night all night. So come with me, grab some chips, and let us see if we can make this city a bit bigger. Though first, let’s tour about a while.

The potty mouth 4th graders, Cartman, Kyle, Stan & Kenny are back. Matt Stone and Trey Parker bring us another adventure in the video game world rather than on the small screen. Does the new installment in this franchise hold up as well of the first one? Let us find out.
South Park the fracture but whole picks up right where the first one left off. You are still playing the middle age’s game for about five minutes, during this time it will give you a quick over view of the new combat system. At the end of those five minutes, you run in to Cartman, who has switched games to superheroes. Once the game switches over, you start at the bottom of the food chain when it comes to your popularity. You will then have the story of the game explained to you; you are looking for missing cats in
South Park in order for a reward so you can fund your super hero franchise. There is two sides of the super heroes, the coon and friends & the freedom pals who are in a civil war. In the story line, they are making fun of the marvel cinematic universe. As you progress through the story you find out there is more to it than just finding the cats for a reward there is a darker side to it than just what meets the eye.
The Game Play in South Park is just about the same as the first installment but a little bit more in depth, especially when it comes to the combat. This time you move along a certain amount of spaces along a grid to reach your target. Each move you do has a different range of attack, which adds a nice variety to the combat. Don’t worry about going in alone it never happens. On your side you can have up to three different sidekicks like The Coon, Captain Diabetes, The Human Kite, Mosquito and much more. Each of them offering their unique abilities to help you on your journey throughout South Park. A few of the new additions to the game play is crafting, you can build costumes, consumables and more. Throughout your adventure, you will pick up artifacts, which gives you more strength for your attacks it is highly recommended especially towards the end of the game when you need a might of 500 for some missions otherwise you will have a difficult time completing these missions. South Park is a mix of open world; turn base combat, RPG game. When you are travelling through the world you will run in to characters who will assign side missions to you this will help you get new artifacts and level up.
South Park the Fractured But whole is a proper and wonderful sequel, keeping the humor of the show, adding more to the combat and exploration. I loved by 18 hours of game play I completed the story was able to complete all the side missions except for two of them and get all the collectibles & I hope a third one comes out this is one title you don’t want to miss this year.
Score: 9/10

Before I venture much further down the road of producing content for CHSR in the form of “Music Reviews” I feel that there is an elephant in the room that needs to be addressed. It has been brought to my attention (but not to my surprise) that my writings are skewed towards the positive in a big way. And I’m not going to deny it for a second, but I am going to take a moment to explain myself.
Well, it’s fit for the airwaves.
The album is 7-track beauty that is raw, authentic, and roots to the bone. The production makes you feel like you are in the room while the magic takes place. The occasional chair creaks, the door opens and closes, and the cookie cutter is left in the drawer where it belongs.
Now for the facts.
1. Shiny Shotguns
2. Pistol and Rye
3. Black Magic Tradition
4. Kiss Nice
5. Ratts and Races
6. Sow it in Spells
7. Don’t Go Lightly
All songs written by Vic Horvath
Percussion – Rad Juli and Matt Andrade
Bass – Jody Johnson
Vocals, Guitar – Vic Horvath
The opening track, Shiny Shotguns, is an eclectic lullaby. Pistol and Rye is a toe-tapping roots jam. Black Magic Tradition is a prog-folk piece that shifts time signatures between movements while staying close to the core of Horvath’s Canadian-Americana lyrical sensibilities.
Kiss Nice turns the page and delivers an acoustic blues-rocker that evoked my very best “This is a seriously good tune” facial expression.
Ratts and Races provides an introduction to the haunting beauty that Horvath is capable of channeling. The simple instrumentation and vocal harmonies gave me chills. This wasn’t recorded to a click track and over-edited. They just let the magic happen in its own time. The penultimate track, Sow it in Spells is a cheery folk-blues tune that cleanses the palette before the finale, Don’t Go Lightly.
I think that at the end of 2017 I will compile a list of the best new songs that I discovered this year. “Don’t Go Lightly” will be firmly on that list. It’s the embodiment of a song written using nothing but 3 chords and the truth that leaves the listener infatuated. This is, in my opinion, the best song in a collection of great tunes. Now that I’ve been so fortunate to discover Vic Horvath as an artist, I cannot wait for the opportunity to see them play live.
I highly recommend taking this album and getting it into your earholes at your earliest convenience. And then let me know what YOU think. Get at me on Twitter or Instagram @ColinFowlieNB
The world is a bigger place than you can ever imagine – but you can get a taste of it, bit by bit.
My guest today is Raymond Cua, otherwise known as The Travelling Foodie. After making the decision this year to turn his passion into a full-time job, Raymond now travels the world seeking out new places to see — and new foods to eat when he’s there. We talk about how he does it, where some of his most recent trips have taken him, and about the full variety of constantly-surprising tastes of the world.

Episode 42 of this year? And we’re on year six? This is really getting out of hand. How have we not been cancelled yet?
High quality music! Clearly. Or the host. Maybe?
In this week’s episode, I bring you a lot of tracks from my archive as well as still playing a lot of unreleased tracks. Sounds like the same as last week? That’s because I’ve been going through my archives of 2016 – there were a lot of awesome releases then – and I just couldn’t help but say “You know what, this needs some replaying” and here we go. So we’re double-doubleshotting, we’re making up words like that last word there, and we’re just having a good time.
