Tell the Band to Go Home/Steel Belted Radio Podcasts

October 22, 2017 - part 1 w/Matt Patershuk

Episode #712

Well, Pledge-O-Rama is over for another year, and our listeners came through and helped the station comfortably surpass our goal, so we’re in good shape for the next year to come. Tell the Band to Go Home is still a little short of our goal, however, so feel free to get in a late pledge if you’re so inclined!

Today on the show, we’ve got some concerts to preview, including the return of our pal Matt Patershuk who joined us for a chat about his new album and the upcoming show. We’ve also got to do our Canadian duty by paying tribute to one of our country’s most universally beloved icons, Gord Downie.

The Comfort Cafe, October 15, 2017 - Pledge-O-Rama w/Oh Susanna!

Our pal Gail Comfort was, unfortunately, unable to make it in for Pledge-O-Rama this year, so we called in some backup in the form of a chat with one of Gail's favourites, Oh Susanna, in an effort to raise a little bit of money for the station that we love.

Episode #663

UMFM’s annual Pledge-O-Rama is here! This is the time of year when we appeal to you, the listener, to help us keep alive and get better at what we do. We need your help to pay the bills and help us with special projects, like this year’s goal of enough money to buy a new transmitter for the station! But it’s not just all about the money, we’ve got prizes and incentives to give away, requests/dedications for our supporters, and a very special live guest, Jaxon Haldane, who dropped by to chat and play some songs!

February 3, 2002 - Paul MacLeod

When I first spoke to Paul MacLeod in 2002, the show was still called The Songwriters' Circle. We had an easy, wide-ranging, interesting conversation.

Note that back at this time, we were still doing analog recordings of shows, so this was recorded on a cassette tape. I recall being nervous about the show, so I forgot to start the tape when the show started. Part of our conversation was clipped off, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't a lot.

Sadly, Paul died on June 18, 2016. I'm very sad that I'll never get to have one of these conversations again. He will be greatly missed.

May 22, 2016 - Guy Clark Tribute - part 1 (Aaron Goss)

This show is built on a solid base of the greatest songs and greatest songwriters of all time, and this week we lost Guy Clark, who's indisputably one of the best there ever was. The thing about Guy is that for every one of his timeless songs, there is a story about a funny run-in with Guy or about how someone has been influenced by him. Today we covered a mixture of both, with a bunch of his greatest songs, and some special guests calling in to swap stories about their brushes with greatness. We were fortunate enough to hear from Aaron Goss (of The D. Rangers), Mike Plume, and John Wort Hannam!
