CRUMBS radio August 30th 2010




Hello and welcome to yet another post about another radio show involving another week of scoops that the mainstream media is reluctant to comment on. When we started this radio show way back in 2002 we never would have thought that we would be here in 2010. Mostly because we were absolutely sure the world was going to end in 2007, which it didn't. Enjoy the CRUMBS radio hour every single Monday at 5pm CST.

Download the podcast here.

listen online live here.

The show touched on such topics as:

***

Becky & Aitor visiting Winnipeg on their North American tour. Becky & Aitor are two amazing artists who spread their unique brand of love every year across Canada and the States. They tour the "craft fair" circuit and have enjoyed many a success with it. Becky produces world famous buttons and Aitor is known for his "unflattering portraits". If you ever get the chance, buy a button and get your picture drawn.

***

Lee's apartment building was on fire! Everything worked out in the ending, but people should be really careful when they smoke cigarettes.


***

The Sex Pistols have released a perfume. Yes, I am talking about the same Sex Pistols who have been famous for being a punk rock band in the 70's. It turns out they have decided to turn their backs on what it means to be punk and have thrown their gloves into the capitalist ring. But if we dig deep into the origin of the Sex Pistols we aren't really surprised to learn that they actually formed as a sort of commercial for a clothing store... So it isn't that crazy after all.


***

What is new to Manitoba? Jellyfish! We finally have them after so many years of being jellyfish free and being jealous of all the other countries who have this pesky little slime bag.


***

What is coming to Winnipeg? The Bodies exhibition. Ladies and Gentlemen, being someone who has actually seen this exhibit before, I can say that it is amazing. This is your chance to see what the inside of a human body looks like without going to jail or medical school (I hear that both can be quite unpleasant).


***

And of course, what Winnipeg radio show or blog would be complete without a mention of our sweet Mayor Sam Katz kicking ass, or in this case, kicking a small child in the face.

CRUMBS radio show August 16th 2010



Ladies and Gentleman,

The CRUMBS radio show continues to pump out content and digs deep into the pockets of information to deliver you the scoops you so deserve. Every Monday at 5pm CST on 101.5 UMFM or www.umfm.com on the internet.

This week the show touched on:

It was reported on our show by one of our eye witness reports that our city's mayor Sam Katz was seen texting while driving his car... This of course is now against the law in Winnipeg and you would think that after the Mayor had banged down his by-law gavel and uttered the magic words that makes these things into law, he of all humans would know not to do it. We will be investigating this issue further.



Stephen ate raw oysters for the first time in his life. This isn't really news though, more of one of those human interest stories.


The famous Winnipeg festival Folklorama happened and broke attendance records again. The festival, which celebrates several cultures in this mash up of cultures we call Canada, is the longest running and oldest of its kind in Canada (perhaps North America... Maybe even the world?).


Frequent CRUMBS radio caller Andrew made a 5 second short film and will be featured at The Malta Film Festival.




As always we also plugged all the live comedy shows that happen in this city.

Sunday nights at the Cavern (the basement of the Toad in Osborne Village)
Show up at 9pm to sign up because this show is an open mic show. The comedy starts at 9:30 and the hilarity never stops (they do kick you out of the bar at midnight).
This show is FREE!

Tuesday nights at the King's Head Pub for the Free Laughs Comedy Series.
This show is also free and has been running for years. We enter into the 5th season in September. The show rotates between Improv and Stand-up comedy. Always great.

Thursday nights
at the Standard Tavern on Sherbrook.
This show is also an open mic stand-up night and is also free.


How do we make money? We get paid in laughter.
