On the radio: Get to know the voices behind CFRU 93.3 FM IS CAMPUS AND COMMUNITY RADIO IN GUELPH | STORY & PHOTOS BY MARIAH BRIDG EMAN What is your show about? Name: Laura Rutty U of G association: Psychology student, fourth year
“My show is called Mind Fuzz, which is named after King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard, which is a psychedelic rock band from Australia. It’s a psychedelic radio show; I mostly play music from the 60s or modern psychedelia, which turns into a genre called chillwave or shoegaze, which is what I like to listen to.”
Name: Jeff Munro U of G association: “I moved to Guelph from outside of Windsor. One of my intents for moving to Guelph was to start a radio show to fulfill my need to suggest music to people. Then I found CFRU and I have been here for 10 years now.”
“My show Glacio is every Tuesday morning. When I started I wanted it to be a radio mix tape, so I wanted everything to flow, but over the years — the music still has its set patterns — but it’s more about playing a variety of songs that I really like and hope other people will like.”
Name: Adam A. Donaldson U of G association: “I went to school here and graduated with a history degree. Also, while I was doing my undergrad I worked at The Ontarion as the Editor-in-Chief for the 2008 year.”
“Open Sources Guelph airs Thursdays at 5 p.m.. It is a news and current affairs show; normally we have around two topics and an interview — normally with city councillors, community groups, as well as MPs. End Credits, which currently airs at 10 a.m. on Thursdays, will go back to Wednesdays at 8 p.m. in the fall. It’s a movie show, and me and a bunch of movie fans will talk about movie news.”
Name: Chelsea Cockshutt U of G association: “I went to school here for sociology from 2006 to 2010, and then I left Guelph for about a year, and when I came back I decided to start volunteering at CFRU to meet new people and embrace my love for music. Also, in high school I used to listen to the Hawk, which is Mohawk College’s radio station.”
“So, I’ve been doing the same show for five years called The Flannel Hour. It airs every Tuesday from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. It started as one hour, but is now two hours of pure Canadian music showcasing interesting local acts as well as popular Canadian artists.”
Name: Kim Logue U of G association: “I’ve been hosting shows at CFRU for more than fifteen years now and it’s such an empowering environment for the people participating.”
“My current show is called Conversations Worth Having and it’s a real mixed program. Right now I have a series that talks about perspectives on death and aging, which is really trying to aid these difficult discussions that we should be having with our loved ones. I also have a health and wellness series that is mainly about nutrition, but when I first started my show it was called Hoof Beats Radio, where I held horse talk, which I still do once in awhile because I feel it is a conversation worth having.”
