May 25th Playlist!

It seems like summer is finally upon us! It was a great long weekend to be out and about. I hope that you enjoyed it. However, that extra weekend day made Wednesday come way faster than I anticipated. Hence my tardiness this morning. I apologize for that. I hope that the rest of the show made up for the late start!

May is a time for hope and birthdays. I know so many people who were born in May, including my lovely and beautiful sister. It is a time for trees getting leaves, tulips blooming, and hope for a great summer. Even with the rain these past couple of days, I am hopeful for sunny summer fun. I hope you are too!

May 11th Playlist!

Last weekend I was in wet Winnipeg and I have to admit that I love that city! People are often surprised when I start gushing about Winnipeg. Here are my reasons for loving Winnipeg: great vegan restaurants, lots of live music, and it has low housing prices. Also, I have some great friends and family that live there. So today's show started off with a little tribute to one of my favourite cities in Canada. Also, I totally spotted Greg MacPherson at one of the bars, which was awesome.
