Here's our latest episode! Thanks to On My Side for the new tune, and everyone who contributed their favourite Steve Albini songs!

Happy end of 2023! We are so grateful to continue to put our lil show together every Monday. It’s a space to carve out a slice of joy definitely for ourselves, but more importantly for everyone who takes the time to listen to and support community radio. Thank you. May the new calendar year bring us all health, deepened bonds with our communities, strengthened resolve to fight for justice, a free Palestine, decreased EPS budget, joy, adventures, and injury-free mosh pits! We love you and we have a special January 1 show queued up to celebrate some of our fave tracks of the last year. Tune in, won’t you? 🥂✨🎉

Today on the show we have a few tips on how not to be a creepy dude! With the help of Bikini Kill, L7, , , and a fresh tune from !! It’s an unhinged, chaotic time (kinda as usual). Tune in at 10am MST on ! ALSO! Win a pair of tickets to the show at this Saturday (see show poster on third slide). All you gotta do is comment below - who you would bring… where Rylan is looking in the first photo… what you had for breakfast… the more creative the better. Enjoy the show! 🙏🏼😇

What do these 4 slides have in common? Well. Tune in at 10am to hear new music from , Class Act, and the artists playing this sick show at on November 12. Rylan will have three pairs of tickets to the show to giveaway so hang on for the second half of the show for those giveaways plus the iconic Spyder Yardley-Jones’ vest. Which one of our fab donors will win?! And why New Zealand’s Melanie Lynskey though? Because a) she rules, and b) watch “I Don’t Feel at Home in this World Anymore” - Brittany talks about it and only mentions Elijah Wood, hence her presence here to balance the scales. 😮‍💨 Happy Monday! 10am MST on or 88.5FM on your dial! 🤟🏼
