Now that 2018 is officially 'in the can' so to speak, we can look back at the year that was. A selection of CFCR Hosts and Staff took some time to revisit their favourite music of last year, so read on and maybe you'll discover your new favourite album or band.
This time, we're featuring the multi-talented Tyler Baptist! He's a co-host on CFCR's film-review show, Reel To Reel, but there's a lot more to him that just that, so click below and read on!
We're having to bid adieu to another wonderful longtime host in Stephen Rutherford ("Tonight It's Poetry Radio"), but we're waving goodbye in style, by featuring him in the latest "Get To Know A CFCR Volunteer!"
Time for another edition of "Get To Know A CFCR Volunteer!" In this installment, you can learn a bit about Couleurs Cafe host and CFCR Board Member Catherine Lemire. She's pretty great, and a real supporter of Community Radio in Saskatoon, so read on to see what she likes on her pizza (and some other things too).
Check out pictures from the wonderful Kacy & Clayton show at The Bassment!
It's almost here! As we inch closer to Sled Island Festival in Calgary, Alberta - which rests on traditional territory of the Blackfoot and the people of the Treaty 7 region – Miranda Young (Host of the Thursday Buzz) and Jordan Stovra (Host of the Monday Buzz) sat down to have a chat about what they’re most looking forward to.
For the second time in a row, we're featuring one of our lovely Buzz hosts! This time, the wonderful Miranda Young (host of the Thursday Buzz) is in our spotlight, so click below to find out more about what makes this amazing volunteer tick!
This time, we're featuring Buzz host Jordan Stovra. He's a really great volunteer and all-around swell dude, so give a little click below and learn more about him!
If you tune in to So Many Roads on Wednesdays, every other week you'll catch the dulset tones and awesome playlists of Guy Edlund! He's a swell fella, and a real champion of Community Radio in Saskatoon, so read a little bit about him after the beep! Or click, or whatever...
If you're up early on Wednesdays, you'll know our next featured host, Daniel "Trash Can Dan" Mireault! Read on to learn more about Dan, and check out a playlist of his music picks!
Check out the annual “Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan Bardcast,” a pre-recorded segment featuring interviews from both of the 2017 SOTS productions, Twelfth Night and Richard III. Hosted and produced by Stephen Rutherford, and supported by Saskatchewan Lotteries.
We're feeling a bit melancholy because Fistful Of Booyah host Curtis Tessmer is stepping down after almost 20 years of on-air volunteering, so we thought we'd ask him to tell us a bit about himself for internet posterity. He's a swell dude, so check it out!
Our last bit of Sled Island 2017 coverage is the second part of our Program Director's photo album, featuring our annual Saskatoon Showcase at Tubby Dog!
The Owls Are Not What They Seem host Peter Grier (Get it? PG!) gives us the rundown of his Sled Island experiences. Just like his show promo says, Peter saw lots of pop, experiments and indie rock. Check it out!
CFCR's resident mobile phone shutter-bug Brendan Flaherty recaps his time at the 2017 Sled Island Music & Arts Festival in Calgary!
Not one to make the same mistake two years in a row, our Program Director Jay Allen made sure to start getting his Sled Island coverage in on schedule this time (instead of a year late). Check out the bands he got to see on the first couple days of the Festival in the first of a two-part series. We'll also be posting writing & photos from CFCR's Brendan Flaherty & Peter Grier this week, so keep checking back!
Check out these "vintage" photos from Sled Island 2016! THROWBACK THURSDAY!
This month, we'll get to know Buzz Host and Board Member Jane Caulfield! She's been volunteering with us for the last 4 1/2 years, and we think she's super swell!
For our March edition of "Get To Know A CFCR Volunteer," we'll be learning a bit about Ann Foster, host of Radio Book Club. Ann just announced that she's going to be stepping down from her show next month, so we wanted to give her a good send-off!
This month, we get to know Monday 6-8am Green Eggs & Ham host Pat Kindrat. He's got a real knack of getting the weekday started right with his great music picks, so click below to find out a little bit about him!
Well, it's almost time to tie a bow on and stick a fork in the year that was 2016. It is also that time when we, the musically-obsessed, start to reflect on what turned our collective crank, or floated our collective boat (musically speaking, of course) over the last 12 months.
OK, OK, it's been a minute (or several months) since our last "Get To Know A CFCR Volunteer." With a busy summer, and FM-Phasis in the fall, we just couldn't find the time. BUT, we're making it up to you with a serious three-point shot, featuring the awesome hosts of our Wednesday night hip hop show, Third Verse! Read on!!
CFCR good guy Brendan Flaherty slid on down to Sled Island 2016 and had a great time. Read about his adventure right here!
CFCR host Josie Dabo hit the road for her first Sled Island experience last month, and she survived (well enough) to tell the tale.
Another long-time host is featured in the May edition of "Get To Know A CFCR Volunteer!" Italian-language host Frances Fortugno brings our listeners "Azzuro" every Sunday afternoon, and she has been with the station since the humble beginnings of CFCR!
Summer festival season is starting to ramp up, and we want to send you to MoSoFest for FREE!
The April edition of "Get To Know A CFCR Volunteer" is another bittersweet one, as we get to know another outgoing host in Berkley Staite of Spoken Word program Sex+. He's a top-drawer customer, so click on and find out more!
