He is primarily an artist and graphic designer, but has been heavily involved in the Vancouver punk scene for close to 10 years, and plays in a bunch of local bands. He's also the art director of Discorder Magazine, based out of CiTR 101.9 FM, and is the music director at CJSF 90.1 FM! Lucca and Rebecca love interviewing our CJSF contemporaries to see what brought them to community radio, and to explore all the facets of who they are. We take some time with Ricky, getting to know the man behind all the music at CJSF!
Part 1: Sounds from European Cities by Eleanor Wearing Sounds from European cities, tourists, towns, churches, streets, cars, trains, musicians, machines, bars, windows, pockets, houses, clubs, friends, strangers, movement. The track heard between 25:00-27:00 is by Berlin based-artist Discovery Zone. Recorded between September 5 - November 9 2018.Part 2: pls. leave a message after the tone by Eleanor Wearing Since its invention in the 1970s, voicemail has gone through a broad fluctuation in popularity. What was perhaps once seen as a convenient and time-saving function of the telephone is now massively regarded as an annoying and cumbersome way to get a message to someone. This is likely due in-part to the rise of text messaging as many people’s primary method of communication. But what have we lost in this shift? Is there any value to having small recorded pockets of someone’s voice, regardless of whether the message sent is inane or important? This piece is a collection of sounds and voicemails from the CiTR Radio and Discorder Magazine main office line, from 2016-2018.

Paul Anthony is the creator of Paul Anthony's TALENT TIME and inaugural recipient of the BC Entertainment Hall of Fame for most promising newcomer and has been lauded by both the Vancouver Sun and the Georgia Straight as the up-and-comer to watch. His acting career finds its roots in theatre, having performed all over the country with such respected companies as The Vancouver Playhouse, The Arts Club, Prairie Theatre Exchange, The Belfry Theatre and MTYP. He has also received rave reviews for his own projects, such as "The Death of Comedy" (Co-created with writer Devin McCracken) and his scientific experiments called "The Drunk Improv", which have both gone on to become underground cult hits. His comedy/audio art album "Wordcore", released in 1998, was named "one of the best independent releases of the century" by Discorder Magazine and CITR radio. Paul has studied this art form in and out of the classroom his whole life, participating in countless workshops and staging his own social experiments when he was as young as 8 years old. In 2001 he graduated from Studio 58, considered one of the finest acting programs in North America.2006 marked the release of "Eighteen'. This bristling and provocative indie, stars Paul as a traumatized runaway opposite Alan Cumming and Carly Pope. He has also been noted for his performance in the Emmy winning mini series "Traffic", the adaptation of Irvine Welsh's "Bad Blood" and Guy Maddin's "Hands of Ida". Hosted on Acast.

In oral history and aural travelogue, broach the radio psyche! At any given time, you can conceive CiTR’s identity according to the audio-production it airs. Inextricable from the station’s programming are its “carts” — PSAs, promotions, advertisements — churned out by a rotating body of programmers, volunteers, and hobbyists. Host to accessible equipment and subcultural cache, CiTR has been a lightning rod, collecting the effulgence and psychic-runoff of UBC and Vancouver’s finest.The “carts” are a rich text, what Nardwuar the Human Serviette once called the “the life, the blood, the sweat, and the real expression of CiTR”. In montage, collage, and close listening, we can tease out a dialogue between CiTR and the outside world, encompassing satire, punk, noise art, and more. Featuring interviews with CiTR alumni, production professionals, artists, theorists, and the peanut gallery, this is but a brief adventure into the unfolding lineage of amateur radio art that is CiTR production. Brought to you in living stereophonic sound.This documentary was produced by Jonathan Kew. He is a section editor at Discorder Magazine, and hosts Kew it Up, Wednesdays 3-4PM on CiTR 101.9FM. He enjoys techno.
