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.

Episode #792
This one started off a little rough as we dealt with a major Internet outage, but eventually we pulled it together enough to talk about great shows past and future, play a bunch of great requests, and say a fond farewell to wto like-minded artists who happened to be friends and happened to die on the very same day, Leon Redbone and Mose Scarlett.

A lot of great musicians seem to have been born in 1969, and a couple of our all-time favourites on the show turned 50 within a day of each other last week, so a happy 50th tribute to Shannon Lyon & Jim Bryson today, as well as some great new music, German requests, and more!

This episode celebrates our home city in song, with plenty of songs about and mentioning Winnipeg, as well as some of Winnipeg's finest artists, a look at some iconic Winnipeg locations, famous faces, and much more!
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!

Episode #783
Well, it looks as if, at long last, our miserable winter is on its way out. Spring Break is here and the kids (and teachers) are out of school and that's got some of us heading off on a rejuvenating vacation. Even if you're not headed somewhere warm, some of today's songs about sun, travel, beaches, and oceans should get you feeling a little warmer and more relaxed.
