I’m sure the rain will finally stop someday, but until then, we’ll just have to wear our celebratory floaties that the endless freeze has.. well, ended. So here we are, with yet another episode of a show that’s just more noise on the internet and/or in the radio waves. If this is all you really needed, then hopefully this helps you get you through your day/weekend.
If not, then be a little more selfish.

Art addresses emotion, thoughts, reflection and so many things that are often beyond words. I had the pleasure of speaking with Amy Ash, a visual artist and the guest curator of an upcoming exhibition called it comes in waves.
From the exhibit’s description:
As we emerge from a global pandemic, the exhibit it comes in waves observes the nature of absence through the work of seven contemporary artists: Emily Critch, Chantal Khoury, Adriana Kuiper & Ryan Suter, Lou Sheppard, KC Wilcox, and Florence Yee. it comes in waves refers to the sensation of becoming awash in the haze of emotions, memories, and associations that result from grief, loss, and other confrontations of absence. Presented in both the East and West galleries, the works included in it comes in waves hold space for contemplation and the quiet construction of meaning, while boldly facing the uncanny sensation that something is lost or missing. From climate devastation and personal loss, to broken expectations, this group exhibition explores grief as a means of understanding what we value.
The exhibit opens on April 29 at 5pm at the UNB Art Centre (9 Bailey Drive), and will be on view in person from April 29 to June 17, and online. Admission is free to members of the public.

Did someone go mute? Did you silence your radio? Turn down your volume? I totally understand and still appreciate you coming here anyway.
As someone with a weakness for wireless headphones, I finally got a brand new set that don’t become untethered the moment I walk away from my desk (which makes you wonder why I was using the previous set at all) and needless to say I am now enjoying super loud music everywhere I go.
Why am I telling you this? Because that is how exciting my life is. Go buy some music and headphones.

I’m told that turkey is involved with this weekend in some fashion. I also remember stories from when I was younger about people getting gifts. I mostly remember chalky chocolate, some hollow and some not, and eating it for hours a day. I think that’s the only reason why I’m so well-adjusted.
Anyway, enjoy your weekend. Or don’t. I’m not your boss.

My guest today is UNB musician-in-residence Nadia Francavilla, on the occasion of another thought-provoking performance of music at Memorial Hall on UNB Campus. “Music and Morality” challenges the audience to not only appreciate the quality and beauty of the music composed, but the context, beliefs and actions of the composers who created it.
“Music and Morality” features Nadia Francavilla (violin), Stephen Runge (piano) and Richard Hornsby (clarinet) and runs for one night only: April 13 at 7:30pm at Memorial Hall. Tickets are available online or at the door.

Hello April! We’ve managed to make it to a point where a playlist can continue to spin and we can keep everyone going through this Second Winter nonsense. We’re going to start off in a spacey place, get a little bit heavier as time goes on and end it with a bang. So turn it up loud and proceed to yell-talk over the music because this is as much socialization as we get in this day and age.
I’m done being creative now, enjoy the podcast.

…as we know it, but students graduating into this new reality don’t exactly feel fine. Hosts Jessica Gioccone and Guinevere Santaguida try to put The Ukraine, climate change and the pandemic in perspective for Generation Z.
Music:
The final production of the Theatre UNB season is Will Eno’s Middletown. I caught up with “Grand Poobah of Theatre” Len Falkenstein and student/actors Caleb MacPherson and Amanda Thorne to discuss what this strange, normal, small-town play was all about.

Now that we’re all suffering through second Winter, we can, at least, appreciate how bright it is when the snow is endlessly falling down. Though, now that I’ve written this I’m sure we’ll only have sunshine and/or endless rain instead.
Nobody came here for the weather report.
Today’s show is all about how I don’t take anything out of rotation, and instead randomly revisit some albums from around the time I started at CHSR, with no real rhyme or reason behind it. It’s just the magic of having an extensive library and constantly getting songs stuck in my head while I do whatever it is my day job is.
April Fool’s? Whatever.

Yes, we’re back yet again with an episode to help get you through the tail end of a week. I often try to consider what I can possibly say at this point that is equal parts sarcastic as it is motivational, and I can only say that the one thing getting me through this week is randomly passing out after work. Not in a narcoleptic sense but more of a “I give up” sense.
Anyway, we’ve some solid entries in today’s show so let’s just get right to it, shall we?
