CHSR 97.9fm - Campus/Community radio in Fredericton, NB

CHSR Fundrive 2015


We have a good broadcasting home base with CHSR and we would like to help it keep in tip-top shape.
Without the good people at CHSR, we would not have been able to get accredited for press passes for some UFC events in the past.

They are facing a shortfall in this year’s budget and looking at picking up some new microphones or headphones, or other equipment that keeps shows like us going and sounding like pros.

Head over to their IndieGogo Page and check out all the details.

If you are able to donate, you have our thanks.
If you are not able to, please share the IndieGogo link with your friends/family.
Every little bit helps!

Episode 330 – Canadian Road Rage and Comic Reviews

WMD 330This week on WMD Radio we’ll be talking about a little thing we do differently north of the 49th parallel: “Canadian Road Rage”. Pop culture comes in many shapes and sizes, folks – and viral videos come from anywhere everywhere, so WMD Radio’s back yard is no exception. We’ll break down this local and courteous exchange of driver discontent while throwing in our usual 2 cents.

And after 2 weeks of recklessly leaving Brew and Redshirt unattended in the studio Remy is back! We’ll catch up with him while we review a few comics from our LCS, follow up on a couple of your favorite shows – heck, we might even have some stuff to give away again!

All of that plus a BIG guest announcement for next week’s Walking Dead series recap episode! Hope you all can join us tonight at 8PM EST / 9PM AST.

As always, we welcome your participation in the show. Post questions or comments in our Facebook group, join the discussion in our chat room: http://mixlr.com/wmdradio, or tweet us @WMDRadio.

WMD Radio is sponsored by Strange Adventures and Club Fred Grafx.

Fundrive Video: 2015 Pitch Video

Our very own Station Manager Tim Rayne (host of Instant Breakfast) produced this  video.

The Lunchbox Interview: Alex & Dylan on “Enron” (TUNB)

LunchBox-Enron-TUNBDo you remember the name “Enron”?

To a lot of people, I think the details may be fuzzy, but the following words might come to mind:

Oil.

Business.

Scandal.

Dinosaurs.

Dinosaurs?

Ok, so the last one isn’t familiar to you yet, but it will be! Two of the Theatre UNB actors, Alex & Dylan, dropped by today to talk about their next big project: Enron, a play by Lucy Prebble. We talk a bit about the last production I saw them in, Our Country’s Good, and compare and contrast their experiences. They let slip that there may just be some dinosaurs in this play, and that it is a tragedy of comic proportions.

BONUS: they also perform a bit of a scene from the play, between the financier and the CEO, their two characters in the play.

Enron plays at Memorial Hall on UNB Fredericton campus, opening on Wednesday night at 8:00pm and running through and including Saturday night.

And don’t forget: if you are going to the play, you’re going to Memorial Hall anyway, so take along your e-waste to help recycling and help spread the message!

Music today:

  • The Mohrs remind me of Spring (a little) with their song Youth from the Kings of Nowhere album.
  • And Emilie Rae is probably not singing about Enron, but there may be Something Wrong anyway. Taken from her Frigid Fire album.
