Port Gratiot Trail
Just across the border of Sarnia, Ontario is the small community of Port Gratiot. I decided to explore the nature preserve and walking trail because I like exploring new places to run and thought doing so in a different country would be a nice change of pace. The trail had regular distance markings along it,…

Maybe Too Much (on WIB Rap Radio)
I know someone who called our college radio station, “Radio Roulette – you never know what you are going to get.” It’s an apt description of what we do at Radio Western. Last week, I had a listener text in to the station who had been listening to the station for 24 hours straight. She…

Sankdafied and Traffimatics (Live on Word is Bond)
I’ve gotten a little bit behind on the podcasting of the radio show, and for that I apologize. I liked the idea of podcasting the show as quickly as possible after the live show. I had been trying to get the new shows posted by Wednesday of each week but that hasn’t been working so…

Living Dangerously on the Radio (with Jesse)
I had a blast on Word is Bond Rap Radio last week. The two shows that go on before me, didn’t make it in, so I started at 7:00 p.m. and did 5 hours live. This is the first half of that extended show and features some old school classics that have been sampled countless…

Kevin Couldn’t Save Television
Kevin Probably Saves the World is the kind of television show that we really need more of. It’s a unique hour-long drama that is fully of charm and humour. It has elements of fantasy and spirituality in every episode that could be a little off-putting to some people. Maybe that is the reason we won’t…

Australia’s Grey Yard on WIB Rap Radio
Last week, on Word is Bond Rap Radio, a caller requested a Grey Yard song. Up until that point I had never heard of this Australian hip-hop duo. I played the song live on the air and was immediately impressed. They caught wind of being on the show and messaged me the day after I…
