Episode #697
July 2, 2001, marked the beginning of my hosting career at UMFM when I hosted my very first show, which was a Canada Day special. Since then, Canadian music has always been the backbone of my shows, but it’s always nice to focus exclusively on Canadian music once in a while, especially around Canada Day. So here’s (almost) 2 hours of great Canadian music, as we take a musical road trip with stops in every province and territory!

Steel Belted Radio’s last hoorah! We kicked things off on September 11, 2003, and with the help of some great co-hosts and amazing guests, we managed to keep rolling until June 1, 2017. It was a hell of a lot of fun. On this, the last episode, the longest-serving co-hosts, T-Bar & KK made a surprise appearance, and just like the old days, we played some new music, classics from back-in-the-day, some out there T-Bar picks, and heard a pile of T-Bar’s jokes. Thanks to everyone who tuned in to this episode or any of the 650 or so that came before it. We were blessed to have some amazing support and encouragement over the years. We wish Skippy all the best as he takes over and makes Thursdays his own.

Today the news (and our hearts) broke about Jimmy Lafave's terminal cancer diagnosis. Jimmy has been a favourite and a guiding force for years, so we're taking this one kind of hard. We console ourselves with plenty of Jimmy's music today, before picking things up with some new & fun music.

Today, a special show in honour of a special listener! It's Allison Green's birthday, and she's been one of the most devoted and encouraging supporters of this show. She listens online from Victoria, BC almost every single week, and has done so since the very beginning. Her musical tastes match ours so well that it was easy and an absolute pleasure to play a show full of artists that she loves, supports, and in some cases, has introduced us to! Happy Birthday!

Episode #675
The latest in our annual series of holiday marathons where we take over some of the extra time in the schedule and stretch out and get deep into some themes and songs we don't listen to often. It's January 1, and the anniversary of the deaths of two of the most significant writers of all time, so tributes to Hank Williams and Townes Van Zandt to start things off. 2016 was a pretty ruthless year when it came to killing off a lot of important artists, so we take time to remember a few of those who might have been overshadowed by bigger names. We're also working hard, trying to narrow down the Best of 2016 list, so we listen to some favourites from the year and continue to shape the official list.

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!

This is a special (for now) podcast only pre-recorded episode of the show! I've been thinking about this cool idea for a long time, and the time was finally right to put it all together. This one will surely air on UMFM at some point, but for now, enjoy it here, and only here!
My favourite kind of songs are the ones where a writer paints a picture and tells a story so vivid that I can see it and feel it. If you can transport me to another place in 3.5 minutes, you're some kind of magician! So a lot of my very favourite songs are full of vivid scenes, characters, and tales, and this show is full of those! Sit back and spend some time with The Songwriters' Storybook!
