CHSR-FM 97.9

New music this week from Papal Visit and Doctor Mother Father as well as a mix of other fun stuff!

The Decemberists – July!July!

Hi Folks! This week’s episode is a special one: Episode 100. It’s been a great journey over the past couple years, and I can’t thank everyone for listening enough. I will be moving my show to the UNB-SJ station moving forward, but there will be a few weeks between the new version of Harmony Corruption starting and the version on CHSR-FM ending. The UNB-SJ station edition will be rebroadcast on CHSR as well, and it should fill up the same timeslot. In the meantime, there will be re-runs of older episodes, so keep an ear out!

There’s a number of people I’d like to thank in particular for all their help and support either with the show or in general over the last few years:

“The World of Music, One Song at a Time”

Episode Song List

In May of 2025, the York County Jail at 668 Brunswick Street in Fredericton went up for rent after it was bought by a new owner in March. The building which is better known today for housing Science East, an educational not-for-profit, was built in 1842 and served as a provincial prison for over 150 years. Because of its unique construction—made of granite quarried from the Fredericton area—and long history, the building is a provincially designated Heritage Place, meaning any new renter would have to comply with certain restrictions meant to preserve its character defining details. Jennifer MacDonnell, the Executive Director of Science East, noted that working out of a Historic Place is not necessarily a challenge, but certainly involves added responsibility. Peter Pacey, an advisor for the Fredericton Heritage Trust, explained why it is important to preserve buildings like the York County Jail and what they can contribute to the Fredericton community today. I reached out for a comment from the new owner, but did not receive a response in time for publication

This spring, community gardens in Fredericton have seen an unprecedent increase in interest, with almost all boasting a 40+ person waitlist.

Heather Greechan, President of the Fredericton Organic Community Garden, noted that their waitlist this year included nearly 43 people, up from roughly 10 last year. Carol Muncer, the Youth and Family Educator for the New Brunswick Community Harvest Gardens, said that they have never had to turn people away from their gardens until this year.

Both Heather and Carol noted that increased interest has brought shifting demographics to the gardens, with many newcomers and young families getting involved in growing their own food. Heather postulated that increasing food prices were to blame for the recent demand for garden plots, while Carol blamed political uncertainty and an increased awareness of supply chain issues since the COVID-19 pandemic.
