Molly Hagan Interview: Election exclusive: Tracy Flick’s campaign! The Ringmaster: Working with Jerry Springer. Reflections on Code of Silence, Some Kind of Wonderful, Fresh Horses, Love Shack, and Red State.
Need a reason to run? More music is thrown your way to enjoy! Classic sounds with a new twist, old favourites with more tracks, everything you could ever need in the RFYL Biome! What’s a Biome? Who cares! We explore the adventure of touring through songs provided by Kill Matilda, Tsunami Bomb, Like A Motorcycle and Sumo Cyco. Also, there’s some new news in those camps.
In this podcast as well, you can find out where to snag all these great tunes, as I will still mindlessly tout that you can scour Bandcamp like I do all day long!
There’s a whole lot of world out there, beyond the large landmass of Canada. Why not explore it, especially when it comes next to you?
My guests today are Enisi (President of UNB’s International Student Association) and Hillary (event organizer). We talk about the experience of international students at UNB, how the association helps them find their way, how it also offers opportunities for Canadian students to interact with international cultures, and the upcoming International Development Week events.
For International Development Week, the UNBISA is sponsoring two events: an evening discussion of international development being done by Canada at 6pm on Monday, February 6 at Dineen Auditorium in Head Hall at UNB; and a International Cultural Fair, featuring food, dances, clothing and more, to be held on February 11 from 1pm to 4pm in the auditorium of the SUB at UNB.
The world is filled with stories, everyday, extraordinary, mundane and wonderful.
My guest today is “theatre poobah” Len Falkenstein, Director of Drama at UNB, and two of the actors from the upcoming production of George F. Walker’s Better Living, Brittany Plourde and Allyson Roy. Along with a demonstration of a scene from the play, Len explains why he thinks so highly of this series of plays from “one of Canada’s Greatest Playwrights”, and Brittany and Allyson reflect on how playing their characters reflects their own lives.
Better Living is being staged at Memorial Hall on UNB Fredericton Campus from February 1-4, with a matinee on Saturday at 2pm.
Words are powerful. Words convey stories. Stories can convey a person’s innermost thoughts and experiences. Sometimes you can rewrite them, but sometimes they are more powerful when raw and direct.
My guest today is Dr. Robin C Whittaker, the Artistic Producer of Theatre St Thomas, and the co-playwright behind the production No White Picket Fence being staged at The Blackbox Theatre at STU. Dr. Whittaker joined me to talk about how this remarkable play about the experiences of foster care that several young women told, from the original 1000-page collection of words to the current verbatim script.
No White Picket Fence runs February 1-4 at STU’s Blackbox Theatre at 7:30pm each night, with a matinee performance on February 4 at 1:30pm.
CHSR’s role in the community is to provide programming as diverse as the community it serves, and to give a voice to things that mainstream media often fail to recognize.
After noticing the lack of female presence on the airwaves, in June 2015 Erin Bond, one of few female radio hosts at CHSR, created a weekly hour show titled Her Turn, playing only all-female or female fronted bands and musicians. Interviewing musicians like SAVVIE, Vulva Culture, Nancy Pants, and Kris & Dee about being women in the music industry, Her Turn became an interesting insight into some of the obstacles women face in the scene.
Short lived, Her Turn was put on hiatus in February 2016 while Bond went on maternity leave. As the months went by Bond noticed again that female artists weren’t showcased as prominent as they could be, so she’s bringing Her Turn back early! Beginning January 30, 2017 7pm AST you can once again hear new episodes of Her Turn every Tuesday evening.
If you are a self-identified female artist and would like your music to appear on Her Turn, email Erin directly at stationmanager[at]chsrfm[dot]ca.
