Remember when there was no internet? Not even TV? Only radio?? The answer, for most of you, is "No. Of course not!" Well, here's a taste of what it was like back in the 1950s. Today's show consists entirely of host RG Morse reading Chapter Four of his novel-in-progress, The Man Who Became a Dog. Get all cozy, curl up in front of your device, and be transported to the slightly skewed world of Lennart Lovecraft Larsson, just like folks did back in the mid-20th century!
"It is always said that however many wonderful and happy years a dog lives, you know that one day — the die he dies — your dog will break your heart." — James Herriot Unless one happens to be a billionaire oligarch, the world is becoming an increasingly hostile place. Reactions to an unraveling of civility and common sense vary from joining cult-like reactionary movements, to donning frog costumes and taunting angry but bewildered ICE agents.&...

On today's show, host Randy Morse wonders why local governments in small towns so often seem to lack any sort of animating vision for the future of their communities. He plays some outtakes from this week's disastrous speeches by U.S. defence secretary Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump to a stony-faced and silent crowd of 800 of America's top military leaders, and shares the first chapter of his current novel-in-progress, The Man Who Became a Dog.
Tech can be wonderful, right? For example, Apple's new AirPods, when enabled by an iPhone that supports Apple Intelligence (Apple's AI), have a feature called Live Translation — and that's just what they deliver. Wonder what on earth that taxi driver in Paris is saying to you? Not if you have these new AirPods in your ears! Inspired by an article about this clearly positive new technology, host Randy Morse found himself contemplating the darker side of tech — specifically, social media algori...

Things are changing out there — especially in the USA. On today's show, host Randy Morse chats with his American family on their recent visit to Canada. They cover everything from being greeted by heavily armed agents (Homeland Security? ICE?) on the American side of the border before crossing into the True North, to life in rural Kansas nearly 100 years ago, to the glories of listening to Andrea Bocelli while sitting on a deck staring across at Mt. Loki as the sun sets. A perfect reminder th...

I've forgotten all the weather that I thought I used to know, could be worse but it still ain't great." — Let's Get Naked in the Kootenays Severe rain events are causing increasing numbers of catastrophic flooding events, around the world and right here in our mountainous backyard. Today's show tackles this issue, against the sobering backdrop of recent tragedies in Texas Hill Cou...

"It may seem that only those already in power are the ones with the ability to make change, but democracy is a participation sport, and if we all take on one small part, we can make big changes." — Sami Sage, Democracy in Retrograde: How to make changes big and small in our country and in our lives Long-time Kaslo, BC resident Anne Malik takes Sage's advice quite seriously. For many years, Anne has monitored the deliberations of successive Kaslo Village councils, holding...
