Welcome to standard time! Tuesday marks the second of our annual funding drive shows. As you probably know, CKCU raises $108,000 over the course of three weeks - 1/3 of its annual budget - via listener donations. Last week, our show raised $450, and we are looking to match it this week. Remember- for every $50 of donations, Adam will run up one story of Dunton tower LIVE on air next week. Your donations will help keep the station on air, but also increase the possibility of Adam’s heart exploding. Really, a win-win for everyone. To donate online, visit www.ckcufm.com; be sure to list the “Tuesday Special Blend” as the show you support.
But we won’t be panhandling all show! At 8:30, Adam will be speaking with Randall Hansen about his new book Fire and Fury: The Allied Bombing of Germany 1942-1945. I haven’t read it, but my understanding is that it is the sort of light-hearted romp that we are all looking for this holiday season. (What? Aww, Hell.)
We’ll also talk about at least some of the following:
The seemingly-permanent US Presidential Campaign ends today. I’m looking forward to an electoral change we can believe in.
The Wakefield train is coming back! Maybe.
Ontario finally gets in on the equalization game: Alberta’s money is fun to spend! (Newfoundland is apparently off now. Up is the new down.)
CIC not letting HC ask IIHF to ask IOC WTF?
Sparks Street Bureaucrats causing problems for Haunted Walk.
Happy Birthday Transitway! Don’t worry- soon you’ll be put out to (tunney’s) pasture!
This week in banning things: cellphones/iPods/GPS while driving.
Your Nalgene? Dangerous? Asbestos? Totally not dangerous.
Frank goes to the big recycling bin in the sky.
