Hope you are feeling better, Renny !! My thoughts are with you

10:21 AM, October 1st, 2025
Benoît
THE PACK! Only the two of them, but...

Renny G (host)
I may feel better but I'll never get well, Neil. My condition is chronic and permanent and irreversible.

1:34 PM, October 1st, 2025
Renny G (host)
Yeah, Benoît. I love a two musician stampede.

1:35 PM, October 1st, 2025
Renny G (host)
Just some news. I'll being doing my last show on October 22. I'm retiring from the airwaves.

Listening in London ON....you gotta catch the Pack AD if they ever come back to Ottawa again, always lots of fun live!! And thanx for playing almost all the latest release.

1:36 PM, October 1st, 2025
Benoît
Dang! Sad about the Oct. 22 news!

1:44 PM, October 1st, 2025
Renny G (host)
Thanks for hip tip about The Pack A.D., Whatwave. You are the radio host with the most!

1:45 PM, October 1st, 2025
Satellite Birdhouse
Oh no, we'll miss you!!

1:47 PM, October 1st, 2025
whatwave dave
Thanks Renny. Have to find something else to do on Wednesday afternoons soon. Gonna really miss your show! My midweek sanity break.

The Pack is currently opening for Shonen Knife in the US. https://www.thepackad.com/

I actually heard CKCU before they went on air. They first broadcast around the campus via closed circuit, including the underground tunnels at Carleton U. that join the building. When I was a young teenager, my friend and I would ride our bikes through the tunnels at high speeds (at night) and listen to the rock & roll. Occasionally we'd get chased by a golf cart but back then they weren't as fast as a teenage boy on a ten speed.

1:48 PM, October 1st, 2025
Renny G (host)
I can remember when the station first went on air. People don't understand what a big deal it was to young people that they could now hear their music in stereo. Up until CKCU the only stereo radio in Ottawa was the CBC and all they played was classical music.

1:50 PM, October 1st, 2025
Benoît
Renny, re stereo radio, was CHEZ-FM not in stereo???

2:04 PM, October 1st, 2025
Renny G (host)
CHEZ-FM started after CKCU. In fact they poached some of the most popular deejays from CKCU to staff CHEZ

2:08 PM, October 1st, 2025
Renny G (host)
I shouldn't use the term poached....I think the term that is used today is head hunting.

2:10 PM, October 1st, 2025
Renny G (host)
'Cause lord knows, that first generation of deejays did include many heads.

2:11 PM, October 1st, 2025
Benoît
"Poach" is ok.

2:12 PM, October 1st, 2025
B
Good "head" pun. Legal.

2:13 PM, October 1st, 2025
Frankie
You'll be going out on top Commissioner Renny.

2:15 PM, October 1st, 2025
Renny G (host)
Ah....We'll see.

2:20 PM, October 1st, 2025
Renny G (host)
I'll miss the Rioteers the most I think. I feel honoured sharing my music with you. I've loved the comments and the conversations.

2:27 PM, October 1st, 2025
Frankie
Great mix from Mongoloid into Public Image.

2:32 PM, October 1st, 2025
Renny G (host)
Thanks Frankie. I'm so glad that someone notices my mixes.

2:38 PM, October 1st, 2025
Frankie
Yes, the bass intros were quite similar.

2:43 PM, October 1st, 2025
Steve Kirkland
... just tuning in Renny. Sad that you're retiring The Riot, sadder that it's because you have to, rather than choose to. More than "Dang!"

2:50 PM, October 1st, 2025
Renny G (host)
It's a choice.

2:52 PM, October 1st, 2025
Renny G (host)
But I do remember how bad some of the hosts sounded doing their shows before they passed away. I don't want to do my show sounding like Darth Vader.

2:53 PM, October 1st, 2025
Steve Kirkland
Didn't know Ed Kuepper covered this... cool.

2:55 PM, October 1st, 2025
Renny G (host)
Did I just grab the pebble from your hand, Master Steve? High praise indeed.

2:56 PM, October 1st, 2025
Neil, DGD
Quick break from garden tear down. Most excellent show and Reconciliation set !!! And welcome back in the saddle Renny !! Greetings to the possee!!

3:06 PM, October 1st, 2025
Renny G (host)
Hey Neil.

Louis Riel's hanging was not a clean breaking of the neck. He hung there strangling for about 5 minutes. Certainly a black mark on Canadian history.

3:12 PM, October 1st, 2025
Neil, DGD
Devastating news, man. Do you have a ckcu email? You have kept me sane, Renny. Always liked "hump day"; but it will never be the same without you lighted up the day !! God only made one.

3:12 PM, October 1st, 2025
Renny G (host)
Somehow I never got a CKCU email. I was told that someone would be in touch to tell me how to do it but that never happened, so I use rennysriot at gmail.com I won't put the At symbol or my email will be flooded by bots.

3:20 PM, October 1st, 2025
Neil, DGD
Thx bud.

Will miss you Renny 😔
