MicCHEK

If you didn't watch it chances are you've heard about it. The tell-all interview between Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle and Oprah. In this episode we sit down with a member of the Monarchist League of Canada to discuss the allegations against members of the Royal Family and whether it's time to abolish the monarchy.

If you were born in the last half-century there's a good chance you've never heard of Club 6. But if you ask someone who grew up on Vancouver Island in the 60's about this local TV show, chances are they'll know what you're talking about. That's because the show was a hit. Every afternoon with cameras rolling live, teenagers would file into the CHEK studios to dance on TV. In this episode, Joe and KC Kyle dive into the CHEK archives to learn about one of the station's first successful shows.

The MicCHEK team invites a couple of special guests to join them for the third installment of the ROUNDTABLE and it's all about the burger (First burger recommendation begins at the 8:33 mark).

It almost never happened. In the early hours on a Sunday in late 2011, Victoria Police poured into Sugar Nightclub to crash the party. The officers had no idea that in a tiny room in the back of the club, one of the biggest superstars on the planet was getting ready to take the stage. Mike Devlin, the arts reporter for the Times Colonist, was lucky enough to be in the club that night. This is the story of Prince's legendary afterparty and why some believe it's the greatest night in Victoria music history.

Their work is sprinkled along Victoria's Government Street. You'll see it on sandwich boards and windows, above pub doorways and behind bars. They create their masterpieces inside a shipping container in the parking lot of Phillip's Brewery and with every brushstroke try to keep an old craft alive. In this episode we chat with the Dobell Brothers who have made a living creating hand painted signs that proudly hang all over the capital city. We learn what goes into making a good hand-made sign and how two brothers from Australia ended up in Victoria following in their father's footsteps.

Her name was Olivia Poole and in 1957, after some prodding from her oldest son, she patented what was then called the "Baby Supporter and Exerciser". It was a game-changing invention for parents around the world who soon began calling it the Jolly Jumper. In this episode we learn about this great Canadian Indigenous inventor who spent her final years on Salt Spring Island and how she came to create the Jolly Jumper.

Who makes the best sandwich on the south island? In this second ROUNDTABLE it's all about the almighty sandwich. No breakfast sandwiches. No burgers. Wraps don't count either. Just straight up sandwiches.

He has a voice made for radio. The kind of deep baritone pipes you'd expect to hear narrating a Hollywood action trailer. And even though Trevor Henderson has spent his life telling people "yes, this is my real voice" the Sidney native has bigger plans for his life.

Should there be speed limits for cyclists riding the Galloping Goose and Lochside Trail? That's part of the discussion as Joe and KC Kyle talk bikes and Victoria cycling culture with Bill Fry from Trek Bikes.

In the 1940's he was Vancouver Island's most famous dog. Featured in the New York Times and LIFE Magazine, Mike the four-legged bartender was a must-see island attraction at the Bowser Hotel. But he wasn't just for show, Mike was a legitimate employee. He served customers beer and brought them their change, and if anyone wanted a newspaper he'd fetch it from the local store across the street.
