For nearly a decade, I’ve been a volunteer host and producer on CKCU – how time flies when you’re having fun…ding drive?! I started as a Carleton student with In Tune, spinning tunes and chatting local. The “On Air” sign in my heart was lit! Eventually, Permanent Waves became Curiocity – my way to better connect with Ottawa through curious conversations and community stories. Hundreds of interviews later, I'm still ripplin’ through the airwaves!

We hit our original $931 goal (thank you!) and now we’re stretching to $1200 – one for each of my 12 years in Ottawa. CKCU gives volunteers like me a vessel to create, curate, and connect – and those waves flow right back into the community. Every donation is a ripple that keeps local voices alive.

Consider a $9.31 donation to Curiocity, another show, or the station fund. ⚡️
