Thursday Early Blend
Thursday August 10th, 2017 with Shelley Ann Morris and Chris White
A focus on some of the many amazing programs on the CKCU schedule.

A focus on some of the many programs on the CKCU schedule, including: (a) "The Department of Imaginary Studies" – A bi-weekly radio show programmed and hosted by and for Sir Guy Carleton high school students, with a special focus on local musicians (alternate Thursday mornings from 6:00 to 7:00). We chat with today's hosts –"Mr. M." and "Froggy" – about the history of the show as well as CKCU's long-running and much-loved "radio camps" for teens. Link to playlists and "On Demand" audio: http://cod.ckcufm.com/programs/381/info.html (b) "Welcome To My World" / "WTMW" – A show by, for and about people with disabilities (Tuesday mornings at 9:05 am). We replay an inspiring conversation about music therapy and autism that took place between Windsor-based singer-songwriter Karen Morand and "WTMW" hosts Kim Kilpatrick and Shelley Ann Morris . The ful interview, which was originally aired on July 25, 2017, is available in CKCU's "On Demand" archive at http://cod.ckcufm.com/programs/438/33376.html (c) "Friends With Benefits" – Excellent music and engaging conversations with host Tonya Price (Tuesdays at 4:00 pm). We replay a snippet of a fascinating conversation she had with Ottawa songwriter Dave King on July 28, 2015. Dave spent 17 years in a basement with virtually no human interaction before returning to clarity and society in 2012. He has released two albums since that time.
