Hi Jeff Listening from home today. Thanks for the PSA -- a lot of people use Android phones in our community with talking technology. Good to know. I'll pass it on.

It is very difficult to pick a favourite. I'm going to vote for all of them, and for Jeff and CKCU FM for making us aware of all this great music! Really enjoyed the SOCAN SLAM!!!

I hope people are actually listening to the interviews and the songs and not just voting! I encourage you to listen to the episode. Jeff (and all CKCU folks) puts a lot of time and effort into making top-rated programming. Please make sure you tune in and support indie radio!

Great segment! All good songs. I’m going to pick Mr. Allaire, as I am once again heading to his show today at Quinn’s.

Jeff Larocque (host)
Wow. This is intense. Make sure you listen to the On Demand link for at least 30 seconds to help this show make it onto the CKCUFM charts. Only 14 people have listened so far and we have way more than 14 votes here. I'm grateful for your visit, but since this is radio, "listens" are all that count. Peace & Love 2 All.
