Steve
You have no right to use this long-standing music program as a platform to disseminate your political views, some of which are ill- informed and naive. Saturday Morning is about the good music you DO play and NOT about you and your personal politics.

Helen
Contrary to what Steve has to say, I don't think you can separate music from the politics it represents. I think that most, but obviously not all, CKCU/Saturday Morning listeners share your views on supporting fighting climate change, hatred, discrimination and gun violence. I know I do. Your version of the Saturday Morning show and is in the tradition of Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, Odetta, Tom Paxton, Phil Ochs, Joan Baez and so many other legends. I listen to stations like CKCU because they are about activism. BTW, I think your opinions are spot on. Keep It Up!

Thanks Helen.

Huck, I'm planning a "Songs of Bertolt Brecht" theme for the May 30 edition of Stranger Songs.

You have every right to speak your views as stipulated in the Constitution so someone oughtta put a sock in it!

9:31 AM, April 22nd, 2023
Bill Cameron
But what I really tuned in to say was it’s great that Chris and John put down a new version of Hartford’s classic “Julia Belle Swain”, so thanks for putting it on today’s list Mike!

9:34 AM, April 22nd, 2023
Mike Regenstreif (host)
Thanks Bill.

Thanks for spinning the Ebbets Field tracks Mike - many an afternoon and evening I spent with my dad and gran watching Hodges, Robinson, Reese, Campanella, Furillo, Padres et.al. - oh the precious memories!

Hi folks, I have been an avid listener and supporter for years. We are currently in Spain (we have been there for six weeks) and never miss a show. We appreciate the work that you all put into your Saturday morning programs. All the best

Cabaret! Love it!

Steve should simply tune out and not use the comments section as a negative forum. Music is universal and has a long, long history of political protest. Great show, Mike.

10:15 AM, April 22nd, 2023
Mike Regenstreif (host)
Thanks Joanne.

well, minority view here...I was sick in bed so come in late....I luv The Mighty & listen to maybe 90% of programs most weeks....I hear Hosts making big & small P comments .... often.....I think Steve is ok with his mini rant....it doesn't bother me....& full disclosure, I've used Int.Act as a SignPost for sure....Everything is Politics.....we're human.... Wish I could talk to Steve! Only tool we've got left on this f'd up globe is LOVE 🌹 Peace ✊

Mark Huyer
Will do, again thanks for all the hard work you all do. I cannot imagine what it takes to put on a three hour playlist that has variety on a monthly basis. Your and your co hosts work now represent a good amount of our music library. From Spain "Buen dia...."
