  • #110 - Battle For The Net

    This is a short episode today - one that comes to you on "Break The Internet Day". There's only one song in the show - the rest is me talking very briefly about protecting Net Neutrality.

    As a Canadian I don't have a direct voice in this fight, but if you're in the US, you might! Instead of listening to me talk about it, there are a couple of podcasts on the issue that say it much better.

    Almost Educational - Episode 147 - "FCC Me"

    Plus Two Comedy - "Break the Internet and Save Net Neutrality"

    Track you heard today:

    Louis Lingg and the Bombs - Occupy Everything

  • #101 - Sharon Jones Tribute + Leonard Cohen Covers

    Welcome to another episode of Alternative Airwaves!  In today's show, a sort-of tribute to Sharon Jones (who passed away November 18th 2016), and a couple of cover songs of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah (he passed away November 7th 2016).  Also - I got the name of a song wrong during the show.  The track by Reole ft. Sophie Mendoza is actually titled "It's A New Day".
