After another little glitch, we’re back, with an hour-long episode celebrating the recent win of the Canadian Folk Music Award for Antigonish County’s own Mary Beth Carty, who we’ve been boosting here since the Myspace days (Squeegees!), plus more squeezy music along a similar vein. If your Apple or Android (or plain old RSS) podcast subscriptions (strongly recommended!) haven’t alerted […]

Nothing is easy for poor Bruce, and the well-oiled operation of his getting these episodes out into the world and online is really starting to run up against rather more friction than we are accustomed to. (Maybe we shouldn’t have skimped on that bellows replacement after the first 500 thousand miles! Really it was just […]

Bruce’s technological issues we have recently reported on have only grown more acute as he attempts various remedies for his troubles, which have impacted our ability to get the program out to you, our faithful listeners, in a timely fashion.
