Canada, we did it! We've cracked the top three! Canadians now have the third-highest household debt in the WORLD! Why are we carrying so much debt and how can we best address it? We get the thoughts of financial guru Bruce Sellery, CEO of ‘Credit Canada'.   Environmentalist and wildlife conservationists are outraged following a decision to allow grizzly bear hunting in Alberta despite being a threatened species under the Wildlife Act. How was this decision reached and how will it impact grizzly populations? We discuss with John Marriott, Wildlife Photographer and environmentalist.   Finally, it's hard to put a price on the impact John Vos has had here on CHQR. For the past 18 years John has been the man in charge at QR Calgary. This week, we give him his flowers, as CORUS' Radio Regional Program Director signs off for one last time and calls it a career.

Charles Adler doesn't have a lot of time or love left for radio anymore.The veteran talk host, who parted ways with Corus Radio in 2021, transitioned into podcasting earlier this summer with the launch of The Charles Adler Show, in partnership with Crier Media and the Sound Off Podcast Network, making his podcasting debut at #1 on the Canadian News Commentary chart.He joins us on Broadcast Dialogue - The Podcast to share his unfiltered thoughts on the state of Canadian media and why he thinks the big broadcasters are in trouble. We also get into his enduring love affair with Winnipeg.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week, we're back with another old friend of the show. Charles Adler was last on in 2019, and at the time, he was about to be on-air with Corus Radio. Nowadays, he's joining the ever-growing list of radio vets who have decided to go digital.Charles is starting up his own podcast, The Charles Adler Show, in just a few weeks. We know this, not just because he told us, but because The Sound Off Media Company is going to be handling the production side for him. We won't be hosting the show, though. Instead, you can find him on Dean Blundell's network, Crier Media, once the show goes live.As usual with radio-stars-turned-podcasters, we talk with Charles about what made him decide to make the transition. It does get a bit political, since that's one of the main themes of his shows. You've been warned. We also discuss the direction of his new show, as well as how he's had to adapt to social media, and the love and hatred he's been exposed to through the lens of Twitter.As mentioned, keep an eye out for The Charles Adler Show on Crier Media. If you want to keep up with Charles in the meantime, you should also drop him a follow on Twitter or check out his personal website.A Transcription of this episode is available here.This show is made possible every week by contributors like:Blurve: A great way to help you prep your Show.NLogic: TV & radio advertising and audience data solutionsMegatrax - Licensed Music for your radio station or podcast production company.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week on NSTS I welcome Chris Sisam, formerly an executive with Corus Radio and The Edge and manager of 90s pop band Wild Strawberries, who's now doing some very interesting things in the music publishing and royalties space.  Chris offers some interesting insights into how the financial aspect of the music business works, and touches on Clarence Clemons' sax solo in Jungleland, Springsteen's rehearsal requirements, Don Henley's acerbic comment to the crowd at an Eagles Toronto show, and one of his favourite lyrical lines of all time.

Greg speaks with Corus Radio and A Little More Conversation host Ben O'Hara-Byrne about the latest from London.

Alan Cross on the Virtual Sessions presented by The DJ Sessions 5/25/22   About Alan Cross -     I've always been a geek.  Just ask anyone I went to school with or any of the girls I tried to date.   My obsession with music began at age six when my grand­mother gave me a transistor radio—an old Lloyds—which spawned an all-consuming fascination with things that came over airwaves.  A few years later, my uncle—who moonlighted by servicing jukeboxes—kick-started my record collection by dumping a box of old 7-inch singles on me one Sunday afternoon.  I was hooked.   In October 1980, I got my start at CKUW at the University of Winnipeg, which, at the time, was a closed-circuit station.  Our broadcast range was limited to one hallway and one cafeteria.   After graduating I ended up at CJRL in Kenora, a 1,000 watt AM station that broadcast to the people and wildlife of Northwestern Ontario.  From there, it was on to KX-96/Brandon and Q94-FM/Winnipeg before I ended up at CFNY (renamed The Edge) in October 1986.  I'd first heard about the place through Rush's “The Spirit of Radio” when I was still in high school and remember thinking to myself “Wouldn't it be cool to work there one day?”   After fifteen years as a CFNY/Edge in a variety of announcer gigs, I moved to program director at Y95 in Hamilton, overseeing, in part, a frequency change that made the station Y108.   In 2004, I started a four-year stint as the station's Program Director (where I was somehow named Canada's PD of the year in 2005, 2006, and 2008), my latent geekiness once again came to the fore and I became Senior Program Director for Corus Interactive, the online arm of Corus Radio. My last project with Corus was as Head Curator of ExploreMusic, a truly unique online and on-air feature dedicated to music discovery.   Oh, and that radio show.  The Ongoing History of New Music debuted in February 1993 and since then it's…well, it's taken on a life of its own. There have been over 720 one-hour episodes making it (I think) the longest-running music documentary in Canada and one of the longest in North America—if not the world!   When that (temporarily) ended, I started a new show called The Secret History of Rock which ran for 100 two-hour episodes on stations across the country. (I own the rights to all those shows. I'm hanging on to those in hopes I can syndicate them globally. Anyone interested?)   After leaving The Edge/Corus in June 2011, I spent a couple of years working with various broadcasters:  Astral/Bell, Jazz-FM, Pattison, and NewCap.  Then I hooked up with Central Ontario Broadcasting, the Barrie, Ontario-based company that owns Indie 88 in Toronto.  I was part of the team that launched the station and became the voice of Indie for a year.   On August 1, 2014, I moved back to Corus as a sort of consultant/strategist–and The Ongoing History was revived as of September 1 of that year.   Then, on March 1, 2015, I co-founded the Music Technology Group and Event series with Andrew Dick and Nathalia Ribeiro. The group is for anyone who is interested in connecting with veterans in the Music and Technology industries and those who simply love music and want to learn more about how technology has shaped the way we consume, create, and monetize music. The Music Technology events take place in Toronto, every 4-5 weeks. The group is free to join and the events are free to attend.   I had a weekly national newspaper column in the Metro commuter paper (since gone bust), four published reference works on alt-rock, and four audiobooks under the banner of The Alan Cross Guide to Alternative Rock. Those books are also available chapter-by-chapter through iTunes. Just search for my name under “audiobooks.” Oh, and there's a children's book called The Science of Song. These days, I write a weekly column for GlobalNews.ca.    In January 2015, I co-founded Major League Mixes, a company that assists sports teams in getting their music mix right for their games. Our first client was a good one: The Toronto Maple Leafs. Learn more about Major League Mixes and all that we do here. Too bad that thing folded due to circumstances beyond our control.   What else?  I was a script editor for the documentary Who the F@#k is Arthur Fogel. There was ExploreMusic-TV on Bite-TV and Aux.  The inflight audio programming I did for Air Canada for years. The consulting. Working for the now-defunct Songza (I was disgarded when it was bought by Google). The various TV appearances.  The official biographies I wrote for rock bands.  Appearances in dozens of documentaries.  The magazine articles. The narrations.  The voicework, The consulting. The speaking gigs and lecture series. The Science of Rock'n'Roll travelling museum exhibit.

We begin with a look at the concept of a 4-day work week. Has the pandemic changed the way we work forever and does this mean it's time to look at ‘shortening' the current 5-day work week model? We discuss with a Professor of Economics from the University of Toronto. It's a new approach to health-care that takes the focus off of medicine to promote healthy living through a healthy diet. We hear details on the new “Fresh Food Prescription Program” running in Guelph, Ontario. Next, it's our monthly conversation with Dr. Axel Moehrenschlager, Director of Conservation and Science at the Wilder Institute/Calgary Zoo. This time out, Dr. Moehrenschlager brings us the story of the endangered “Sage-Grouse”. And finally, it's a big part of our radio station, our annual “Calgary Children's Foundation” radiothon, which takes place each December. Yesterday was ‘disbursement day',the day the foundation's board members choose which local organizations will receive dollars raised during the fundraising drive. John Vos, Regional Director for Corus Radio, joins us to reveal the chosen charities this year. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

With the now-dead Event Centre deal still weighing heavily on the minds of Calgarians, people want to know if there is still even a chance for a rebirth! We talk about that, a new street harassment bylaw and a major housing announcement in Calgary, when we have our weekly chat with Mayor Jyoti Gondek. The Premier has his own call-in radio show every Saturday morning (10-11am) on Corus Radio 770 CHQR in Calgary and 630 CHED in Edmonton – starting tomorrow.  Why give him this platform and what'll it sound like? We find out from the Regional Program Director for Corus Radio, John Vos. The rising tensions in Ukraine are forcing world leaders to take economic action against Russia in an attempt to slow down Putin's war machine. The U.S. has banned Russian oil imports, but what more will President Joe Biden do? We talk to Global News Washington Bureau Chief Jackson Proskow for an update on this, Covid and the Capitol insurrection. And It's Pharmacy Appreciation Month - and as with all front line workers, it's been a very busy and sometimes difficult couple of years for pharmacists! We talk to pharmacist and owner of The Medicine Shoppe in SW Killarney, Amyn Kanji about the important role pharmacists play in health care? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On today's show, things have escalated between Russia and Ukraine. We'll find out more from Andrew Rasiulis with the Canadian Global Affairs Institute. Plus, Bill C-11, which aims to regulate broadcasting on the internet in Canada, continues to work its way through legislation. We chat with the former head of the CRTC who has some issues with the bill. Plus, Randy Bachman is bringing Vinyl Tap to Corus Radio and joins us to tell us all about it.

The unconscious Bran is attacked by an assassin, but his direwolf saves him. Catelyn decides to go to King's Landing to tell Ned about the attempt and suspected Lannister involvement.

Tyrion Lannister, Cersei's brother, decides to forgo the trip south with his family and instead accompanies Snow's entourage to the Wall. When Joffrey threatens Arya and her friend, Arya's direwolf defends her, provoking a conflict between the Starks and the Lannisters. To resolve the conflict, Cersei demands that Robert order Ned to execute Arya's direwolf, but as Arya has sent it away, to save it from retribution, Sansa's direwolf is killed in its stead.
