Hi Jeff, Bathroom renovations coming in the home stretch--hopefully! Rumble--my step-son does a mean version of this song. A song that's wayyyy older than he is!

8:35 AM, June 13th, 2024

Jeff Larocque (host)
OK... so I suspect you can still hear the show, but the in-studio monitors and headphones have gone completely haywire. So, I will continue to play the clips in order.

8:37 AM, June 13th, 2024

Jeff Larocque (host)
Can anyone online confirm if you can still hear the program?

8:39 AM, June 13th, 2024

BernardF

8:46 AM, June 13th, 2024

Jeff Larocque (host)
Thanks Bernard... the host voice mics are not working. Fortunately I pre-recorded 95% of today's show. I even found something titled "Jar of Topics" that will play soon. ;o)

8:46 AM, June 13th, 2024

BernardF
Oooh Jar of Topics!!

8:47 AM, June 13th, 2024

Jeff Larocque (host)
Riley had hoped that I wouldn't find it.... lol.

8:49 AM, June 13th, 2024

Keep on trucking, Jeff! FM has been weird for a couple station over the last few days. But your back on now! And congratulations Riley. You're a natural 🙂

Party in the bathroom! 3 workers there now! Gimme A C--A bouncy C--that brings back memories.

Technical problems have been an issue for over a month now and getting worse. Yesterday the radio signal was off air on all me radios including the new car for most of the day. On a good day, it's microphones cutting out, static for prolonged periods or simply no signal. Online is fine. Doesn't help me all day when I am outside working the hobby farm. Sigh! BTW. I am with you Jeff......playlist is paramount to "hungry ears" in Radioland! Great job today Jeff and Riley!! Technical issues are not on the wonderful volunteer host we love so much!!

8:59 AM, June 13th, 2024

Shelley Ann Morris
Can you imagine if someone just tuned into CKCU and heard the Jar of Topics segment? Hahahahaha. Made me laugh.

9:00 AM, June 13th, 2024

Shelley Ann Morris
Missed the technical glitches--going over some details with the workers in the loo. Love reading all the comments--people and pets, listening in.

9:01 AM, June 13th, 2024

Jeff Larocque (host)
Thanks for the support Neil and Shelley Ann.

9:02 AM, June 13th, 2024

BernardF
Oh my! I think Heather, Stella, and I should record an official Jar of Topics for you!

9:02 AM, June 13th, 2024

Neil & DL

Shelley Ann Morris
Riley, this is a great place to use and develop your journalistic skills. Really enjoyed listening to you on the air with Jeff. Looking forward to hearing you on the air again! You ask some really insightful questions during your interviews--you are a good listener, too. Congratulations on all your successes.
