Ruby Slippers Radio Nov 17 Fall Membership show 7-8 pm

 

 Hey hey everybody

Here we all are again, the fall membership show! 

There are thrills, chills, surprises and nutty music to boot.

Part of this glorious hot mess is because of my cohost, Melanie. At this time I thought it might be interesting for you to hear how we came to be a dynamic radio duo.

During COVID, Melanie and a music penpal in Kitchener challenged each other to pick an artist and get them played on a local radio station in their country. Melanie was able to persuade a station in Unna, Germany, to play Dizzy, but her Canadian counterpart could not find anyone to play the Snooks. (Honestly, don't ask a commercial station to do anything)

So...Melanie looked for a college/community radio station in the general area of Kitchener. She found CFRU (my first station) and Ruby Slippers' sister show, Through The Looking Glass. She contacted me and the rest is history! That is the power of music and community radio!

By the way, Melanie and her partner came to Canada two summers ago and saw the CIUT studios. 

One of the artists who played live on the station during the membership drive was none other than Jerry Leger, a Toronto native who performed in Germany and met up with Melanie for interviews for CIUT not once but TWICE! We are truly a global phemon!
