A new day dawns in Alberta, and metaphorically all across CKUA Radio’s global community!!!
This morning, we launch into a weeks-long victory lap together, savouring your stories, song selections, dedications + good vibrations from 2024’s stirring, awe-inspiring #SpringFundraiser .

CKUA's listeners have stepped up and raised more than $1.55 million! Thank you to all who donated! All of us at CKUA are full of gratitude. Donate before midnight on April 28 to have your support included in the final total. ckua.com

That was wild!!! Oskar Zybart tonight on Maestri — drawing a straight line from the virtuosic piano comedy stylings of #VictorBorge to #IgorStravinski to Frank Zappa! All hail CKUA Radio’s brilliant “Zappa evangelist!”

I don't post here often, but this Saturday from 1-2pm on CKUA Radio , I'm highlighting some of my favourite trans, nonbinary, and otherwise gender+ folks! Everyone is different, and so is their music! It's my favourite way of celebrating Trans Day of Visibility :)

Some things may have… evolved a bit since CKUA Radio started in 1927, but at the heart of it all is still that basic sense of human connection. And records!
