Either dry or wet ribs. Dry has a rub with salt, spices before cooking - no sauce. Wet are brushed with sauce before during and after cooking. I had a number of things I...

Sugarcane: Stunning documentary into Indian Residential Schools in B.C.
Mulligan Stew
In 2021, evidence of unmarked graves near an Indian residential school run by the Catholic Church in Kamloops. BC, Canada sparked a national outcry about the forced separation, assimilation, and abuse many children experienced at this network of segregated boarding schools designed to slowly destroy the culture and social fabric of Indigenous communities. When Emily- a journalist and filmmaker- asked her old friend and colleague, Julian, to direct a film documenting the Williams Lake First Nation investigation of St Joseph's Mission, she never imagined just how close this story was to...

EP 339 | The Stew Welcomes back Colin James
Mulligan Stew
One of the true pleasures of a lifetime in music and broadcasting is connecting with artists at the very beginning of their careers. If the connection is a strong friendship, emotionally you get to go along for the ride. On the downside, you must be prepared to lose those friends along the way through attrition, lifestyle and medical issues. I’m pleased to say Colin James has given all of us a great ride. 8 Junos, 31 Maple Blues Awards, Induction into the Canadian Music Industry Hall of Fame, Order of BC and turning 60 years old with 21 studio albums under his belt....

info_outlineJoel Plaskett's eleventh album—One Real Reveal is special for several reasons.
Joel sat down with a small Telefunken KM56 microphone and a 4-track recorder and recorded the tracks for One Real Reveal ON CASSETTE TAPE starting with the brilliant High Summer.
This album and its music is bare. Because it is, you’re forced to listen to the music and especially the lyrics. These are words and melodies that will still be the air in a concert hall.
IF you can get in.
Joel’s current tour out west is Sold Out. Fittingly, the tour ends at Massey Hall in Toronto.
It too will be Sold Out.
Discover the new sounds of Joel Plaskett, just like the old Joel Plaskett only quieter, more reflective.
I’ve been waiting many years to have Joel to myself. Just to exchange ideas and passions.
My timing couldn’t have been better. One Real Reveal was well worth the wait.
The other welcome guest is our pal Leeroy Stagger. Host of Dirty Windshields Radio Hour on CKUA Saturdays.
But before Leeroy joined us, he was a highly respected singer/songwriter and he continues to write, record and perform his very personal songs.
Leeroy has just released his latest album 3 am Revelations.
In it, Leeroy reflects the life around him. The road, family, social issues and seeking the answers to all his inner questions.
Just a heads up – 3 am Revelations rocks. Bangers like Watermelon Pink, Count to 10, These Days. Then finds balance with reflective gems like
It’s gonna be alright (someday), Alberta Stars, Life’s a Drag, etc.
It's good to have friends and partners like Leeroy Stagger. Great album Leeroy! You nailed it.
