Friday February 13th, 2026 with Susan Johnston. Micah Petti. Lia Kiessling.
Happy World Radio Day!!

Join Susan, Micah, and Lia for a celebration of all things Radio. (Gianluca drove to Cochrane, so he'll be back with stories next week.) In Hour One, we'll dig into raaaaadio, and then share a bunch of new music in Hour Two. We talk with Dave Aardvark and Lia Kiessling about #WorldRadioDay, and the art of keeping it real.

Thanks for playing the song! I think it is a good one for valentine's day. FYI, Indochine is still hugely popular and prolific as a band. They came out with their 14th studio album in 2024 and are wrapping up their Arena Tour concerts at Bercy Arena in Paris on March 7th, yes, I will be there. They will also be receiving a special award at the Victoires de la musique (France's Grammy equivalent) tonight (to be broadcast tomorrow night on TV5 at 9pm.

Hello
Susan, love the instrumental selection - Blue hour -"Dream On" @ 1hr 17th. I could listen to this all day, and all night. --------------- Lia, have a safe trip. I would love some Swiss chocolate as well. I prefer the ones with nuts (almonds, walnuts etc). Also O'Shea from Vintage Love (CKCU) loves chocolate, so he would appreciate receiving some as well. Merci vilmal (Swiss for thankyou). --------
