The Comfort Cafe Pledge-O-Rama, Oct. 20, 2019 - part 1
Wednesday Oct 23, 2019
Wednesday Oct 23, 2019
It's Pledge-O-Rama time once again! During Pledge-O-Rama, most hosts pull together some great incentives and some special episodes in an effort to raise donations for the station that we love. This year we need to replace our aging broadcast antenna, and it's a big job for a station that runs on a pretty tight budget, so we need a little help from our listeners!
Over the past 8 years, our good friend Gail Comfort has pulled together some of the best prizes and has worked hard to earn money for the station. This year she couldn't be with us and she wasn't very happy about it, so we put together a special Best Of show to boost her spirits and encourage people to remember her fine show when making their donations. In addition to some special statistics about which songs and artists she's played the most over her almost 9 years on the air, we talked to one of Gail's very favourite artists of all time, Lynn Miles!
There's still time to get your pledge in if you haven't had the chance already. You can read more about Pledge-O-Rama, our incentives, and make your pledge here: https://umfm.com/donate/pledgeorama

Episode #808
It's that time again when we turn the power over to you, the listener, as we ask for your help to make it possible for us to undertake an important, urgent project, replacing our broadcast antenna. We're asking for your donations to help us hit our goal so that we can complete this major project.
To help win you over, we've brought in some very special guests, Keri, Devin, Hazel, and Oscar Latimer, aka Leaf Rapids for some live music and conversation!
We've also got a whole bunch of great station incentives and a big pile of great CDs to give away, and the bulk of today's playlist was made up of selections from the albums we've got to give you as our thanks for your support!

Episode #801
Last week we hit a milestone with our 800th episode, and that seemed like time to pause for some reflection. Every once in a while I start to wonder which artists, albums, and songs we play the most, so I do some highly unscientific calculations and come up with some interesting results. Today's show looks back at some of our most popular songs, albums, and artists.

Episode #796
This episode is another one of those timeless standby episodes that you might hear again sometime when I can't make it down to the station and I'm not able to provide something all-new. Hopefully, you'll agree that the music in here is so great that you won't mind revisiting this episode down the road.
This episode is called the Special Guest Spectacular because every song features some kind of special guest sitting in with another artist or band. Every once in a while you catch one artist singing backup or doing a duet or playing a solo on someone else's song, and this show collects a whole bunch of those. We also dip our toes into the extensive well of special guest appearances by the Canadian and American queens of such appearances!
Note: Unfortunately there are a few little audio hiccups that appeared during recording. Technical difficulties are entirely ours.

This is one of those timeless "standby" episodes that you may hear on UMFM again someday, but we're betting that it's so good that you won't mind a bit!

Today we're visited by singer/songwriter/radio host Sean Burns. He hosts a great show called Boots & Saddle on Winnipeg's other great campus & community station, CKUW. That station is in the midst of their annual FunDrive, and one of this year's most exciting station incentives is a deluxe CD recording of a star-studded show that took place late last year, called A Night of Country Music. Sean came by to talk about that in hopes of drumming up some support for their station. We sat around and swapped stories and listened to great country music for the rest of the show.
Consider supporting CKUW this week (or any time, really). With a $95.90 pledge, you can get a copy of the great CD! Visit ckuw.ca/donate
