Live Broadcast | FM 98.5 CKWR

This episode of Off Da Rock Radio features powerful conversation, remembrance, and new music from Newfoundland & Labrador.

🎙 I had the honour of speaking with award-winning mental health advocate Glenn Roil from NL. We talked about mental health awareness, real conversations that matter, and why continuing to speak openly can make a difference in people’s lives.

⚓ We also paid tribute to those who lost their lives in the Ocean Ranger disaster.
On February 15, 1982, the offshore oil rig Ocean Ranger sank during a severe storm off the coast of Newfoundland. All 84 crew members perished, including 56 from Newfoundland & Labrador. The tragedy remains one of the worst maritime disasters in Canadian history and led to major changes in offshore safety regulations.

In remembrance, we featured songs from:
🎶 Eddie Coffey
🎶 Clayt Butt
🎶 Steve Sheppard

🆕 New Music Monday included two brand-new tracks from:
Lucas Kettle and Randy Matthews.

Their songs are available on all streaming platforms — be sure to follow them on social media, stream their music, and stay up to date with their latest releases.
