• Sept 22 2025 - CILU radio show
    Sep 23 2025

    Every Monday at 6 pm I broadcast a news show on CILU in Thunder Bay 102.7 FM. Truth be told, I record it on Sunday and send it to the staff to upload into the broadcast system. But this Monday they uploaded the wrong show - so no-one will hear this unless you choose to hear the news from here according to me!

    So here it is (I'd be so glad if even one person can hear it!)
