The pandemic surge meant our latest team had to start this season working remotely from home as assembled our stories into podcasts. These went so well, we pulled them together into a single one-hour show that was broadcast on CKCU-FM in our regular timeslot on Feb. 9.
The final show of this season — lobsters, pit bulls, Christmas trees, and consignment stores, but also calls for justice, complaints about stereotyping, frustrations over how COVID is disrupting opportunities, and much more!
Lots here about the nature of Nature: devastating storms in B.C., well-water worries in Ottawa, pushes to give up fossil fuels, SAD sadness about departing daylight, plus retro décor and retro music: “Do you remember the Beatles?” “The who?” “Um…no…” All that and more!
A Midweek with stellar documentaries on the fight to save cormorants, an animal-rights activist who’s feeling endangered herself, a man caring for his wife at home through her dementia, and … tinsel. That and much more!
Midweek’s annual Remembrance Day show is an honour and a privilege for those who put it together, and our stories range far beyond just poppies and parades — though we cover them too. This year’s show went from Quilts of Valour to Vietnamese refugees, with so much in between.
Composting with worms to save the world, fighting for stable and affordable housing, coming to terms with death, defiant gaming, sociable crocheting, and the ultimate in frisbeeing — all that and much more!
