The Wavelength
Monday March 28th, 2022 with Joe Reilly
Mick Kern of Sirius XM's NHL Radio Network (and CKCU alumnus) drops in to tell us why we should check out the Beatles documentary "Get Back" and we spin a lot of great pop-rock gems tonight.

Well we needed some fun after last week's all nuclear war songs dystopian feature... so we check in with our old friend Mick Kern. Mick is a CKCU alumnus who currently works for Sirius XM's NHL Radio Network, and records albums as the Ring Shepherds. Tonight he returns to the airwaves at 93.1 FM to talk about the amazing Beatles documentary "Get Back." Mick knows the Beatles inside out, so he provides some great observations and opinions about this doc. Whether you've seen Get Back or not, Mick provides some interesting insights about the documentary and the Beatles during our conversation in the first hour of the show tonight. Then we spin some great pop-rock gems and some folky numbers, including songs by three Canadian acts coming to Ottawa in the coming weeks.
