The St. John's Morning Show

MUN is investigating its board of regents chair, Glenn Barnes, after he was accused of a privacy breach. Becky Winsor, a 35-year-old alumna, says Barnes’s response to her email regarding MUN’s stance on Israel’s war in Gaza warrants an apology after he forwarded an email to her father. Our Morning Show reporter Darrell Roberts joined us this morning to break it all down.

At some St. John's Pride events this year, ASL interpreters were on stage to help make everything more accessible. Our Morning Show reporter Darrell Roberts wanted to know how the interpreters prep for the gig, so he spoke with St. John's Pride Chair Eddy St. Coeur, ASL interpreter Heather Crane, and deaf consultant Jennifer Rimmer, who speaks through interpreter Sheila Keats.

It will soon be time for Jamie Fitzpatrick to pass the torch. You will have a NEW host getting your mornings started. And to tell us all about it, in studio today we were joined now by our Morning Show producer, Jen White.

It was an emotional homecoming as the Coast Guard brought the seven fish harvesters of the Elite Navigator back to New Wes Valley on Saturday. The CBC's Arlette Lazaranko spoke with Nikki Peddle, the mother of Toby Peddle, as she was waiting for the Coast Guard to arrive in New Wes Valley. She also spoke with Captain Eugene Carter's mom, Brenda Carter, shortly after the Coast Guard brought Eugene and his crew home.

If you could re-imagine a new look for the St. John’s waterfront, what would you dream up? The St. John’s Port Authority put up a temporary fence in 2012, and then a permanent one three years later, citing security issues.

Since then, the harbour fence has been a topic of fierce debate. To talk about the fence - its past, present and FUTURE, the CBC’s Sarah Antle joined us in the studio.

There aren't many summer jobs that involve saving lives, but the Inshore Rescue Boat program puts post secondary students through weeks of training to equip them for search and rescue missions. The Morning Show’s Katherine Crummey visited the Canadian Coast Guard team in Conception Bay South to find out all about it.

Neva Johnson just celebrated her 100th birthday at Kenny's Pond Retirement Home, and our Morning Show Reporter Darrell Roberts had a special invite to the party to chat with the birthday girl, and find out the secret to living a long and healthy life.

Nigerian lawyer Emmanuel Oyesomi didn't have to make the journey to Newfoundland. But a couple of years ago he decided to leave Nigeria, and move to St. John's. That's where he was called to the bar in June. Now, he's beginning a new legal career in the city, as an associate lawyer at Gittens, de Beer, and Associates. We spoke with him in his office earlier this week, to discuss the move.

For international students, finding a place to live can be extra difficult. You can't visit potential apartments in person, and have no idea if it matches the description and photos. In studio today we were joined by Neha Kumari, who discussed how she's hoping to make this process easier. She recently started Assured Hubs, a new business that helps international students get a better look at their rental options before they move here.

This week, the city is reverberating with unusual and unexpected soundscapes. The Sound Symposium is back, featuring artists from around the world. Morning show reporter Darrell Roberts visited the Craft Council in downtown St. John's, to check out one of the exhibits happening this week
