Plus a live interview at the North Pole with one of Santa’s elves, Grampa Gramps stops by with a gift, Stan Freberg offers an offbeat retelling of The Night Before Christmas, and the jolly man in red himself answers listeners’ questions. It’s a holiday you won’t forget!
We’re getting festive on a Friday! Well, Saturday. There’s some holiday tunes new and old, Dickie Goodman brings us a news report involving Santa Claus and space aliens, plus a vintage radio play version of The Muppet Christmas Carol – a piece many consider to be the best adaptation of the Charles Dickens tale. Get your Christmas on!
Today, we’ve got wintery holiday tunes galore and vintage recordings of Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas and The Night Before Christmas read by Louis Armstrong. Also, we discuss the UK’s riveting Christmas song showdown of 1973, and our resident reporter interviews an elf at the North Pole. Chilly!
What’s that smell? Oh, it’s a whole new hour of wackiness cooked up fresh for YOU! On today’s program, we celebrate the season with some good ol’ winter tunes, an on-air caller phones in with a noise complaint, a news report involving a famous shark (the ocean kind), we play a round of “Is There a Song About That?,” and more, if you can believe it.
On today’s program, we’re getting nostalgic as I play some of our listeners’ favourite songs from their childhood! I also have the great honour of talking to Canadian music icon Fred Penner about his incredible career. Plus, a news report involving peculiar pirates. It’s a great Saturday to sit back, relax and enjoy the magic of the airwaves!
It was one of the great honours of my life to talk to Canadian music icon Fred Penner about his incredible career – from his beginnings in theatre that led to The Cat Came Back, his time performing with Kornstock in the comedy scene of the late 70’s, the inspirations behind his long-lasting TV series Fred Penner’s Place, to the impact his music has had across generations.

Today’s episode feels like home as I talk to JUNO-nominated Canadian children’s musician Will Stroet about his album Big Shiny Spoons, his series on CBC Kids, his background in teaching and music, and his brand new French immersion project with Seeka Sings. Find Will’s Jams streaming on all music platforms! WillsJams.ca
Start your Saturday morning off the wacky way with tons of tunes, old and new. Not to mention, an on-air caller asks for unusual life advice, I surprise my friend with a game of “Is There a Song About That?”, our resident reporter Rodney Bogney interviews Robin Hood himself, an unexpected delivery arrives at the studio door, Al Simmons encounters some mysterious vegetables… and more. But who needs more than that?!
