I'm late, caught some good tunes on the drive home but gonna have to go pick up the first half via on-demand. Google home can play CKCU on-demand past episodes of heavy friends I was pleased to access it, . BUT then I found it only plays 5 minutes or so till it stops. I guess they can't minimize it (push ads in), they it cuts the stream. Hmmmm
