Shuffle Time

20 January 2026 Aaron Cornies Leave a comment

Shuffle Time is a show where you get the experience of listening on shuffle without the chaos. I love listening to my library on shuffle. It gives me the chance to surprise myself with tracks I’d forgotten about, get more familiar with tracks I haven’t heard much, and spontaneously meet my old favourites again. Plus, I still get a kick from the whiplash of jumping from quiet folk to ecstatic dance music to abstract jazz. I won’t subject you to the complete disorder of shuffle, but I can give you a taste (with some of my own chatter on the side!). Expect music from any genre, any time period, anywhere in the world.

Shuffle Time is hosted by Aaron Cornies and airs on CKMS-FM alternate Saturdays from Midnight to 1:00am.

Mystic Soundwaves

12 January 2026 Sara Cicognani Leave a comment

Mystic Soundwaves is Explorations in Music, Art, Science, and Spirit.

Frequency: one new episode every 2–3 months
First Episode: Inside Shine – A Sonic Journey
Hosts: Sara Cicognani a station that offers music, art and content that uplifts the soul, inspires listeners, and supports them spiritually.

Program Description

Mystic Soundwaves is a new radio platform dedicated to exploring the mystical, spiritual, and transformative dimensions of music and art. The program is based on the idea that sound is not merely entertainment, but a primordial force (vibration) capable of resonating with humans on deeper levels — inner, cosmic, and communal.

Ancient traditions around the world have always considered sound as the primal principle of the universe, an act of creation and connection. For many cultures, music was not merely an aesthetic language: it was a bridge between human and cosmic, a tool for healing, a ritual, and a means of harmonizing body, mind, and spirit.

Objectives

In the contemporary socio-cultural system, music has progressively been transformed into a commercial product and consumable background, losing much of its original significance:
• ritual
• spiritual
• communal
• energetic
• therapeutic

This reduction is the result of modern dynamics — industrialization, commercialization, and the loss of the sacred — which have created a profound fracture between music and its ancestral function.

Mystic Soundwaves is designed to explore and heal this fracture, offering new perspectives by drawing both from contemporary research and the memory of ancient traditions. The Role of the New Age: A Bridge to the Past (and the Future)

Since the 1960s, the New Age movement has sought to reconnect this link, reviving the idea that music can:
• alter states of consciousness
• support meditation and introspection
• harmonize body, mind, and spirit
• facilitate emotional and energetic healing

Without replacing ancient cultures, the New Age has brought back to light tools, techniques, and visions that modernity had marginalized.

Science and Vibration: The Bridge of Physics
Contemporary studies suggest that sound — understood as physical vibration — can influence liquid matter, including the structures of water. Since life and the human body are largely water-based, this opens fascinating possibilities: it is not just a metaphor to say that music vibrates within us. The program integrates this research without sensationalism, posing questions, comparing data, and creating fertile ground for dialogue.

Program Mission

Mystic Soundwaves creates a radio environment where:
• scientific research
• ancient practices
• music therapy
• artistic experiences
meet and intertwine, giving rise to an authentic and interdisciplinary dialogue.

The goal is to:
• inform without oversimplifying
• inspire without dogma
• provide practical tools for mindful listening
• give voice to traditions, artists, researchers, and visionaries
• explore the power of sound as a means of deep connection

Each episode offers listeners:
• in-depth insights
• interviews
• guided sound experiences
• artistic and spiritual reflections
• scientific and comparative perspectives

Mystic Soundwaves is hosted by Sara Cicognani and airs on CKMS-FM every other month on Sundays from 4:00pm to 4:30pm starting 25 January 2026.

Recording

Pardon some technical hiccups and such—first show, still figuring some things out. Altogether not a bad first show!

Something Else

Winner of the 2024 Neskie Manuel Award for Aboriginal Affairs and Culture Programming!

Hi, I’m Coulee – welcome to the Something Else universe. In this podcast you will follow three Indigenous protagonists as your tour guides into the triumphs and struggles of contemporary Indigenous peoples. The something else universe was born from a yearning to create the sanctuary my own nervous system needed. It is a space where rage is celebrated, dreams are cultivated, rest is centered, and heroes are born. Just as its name suggests this podcast is unlike any other, it pulls elements and action from our world now and skillfully weaves them anew in this narrated Indigenous futurism landscape. It is my wish that this marks the beginning of a very long, very ancient journey together, listener and storyteller.

In a recent country wide poll on turtle island indigenous peoples were excluded from the stats, making them categorical “something else”. As Indigenous people the popular belief is that we live somewhere between marginalized and extinct. This podcast invites the listener deep into the space between the lines, outside the margins, it embraces… “other”.

The something else universe was created, written, voice acted, soundscaped, produced and edited by me, Kat “Coulee” Ross. Special thanks to the staff and volunteers at CFUV 101.9FM. Original score and music by Reil8 of @the_r.a.p_ Artwork generated by AI programs, Midjourney and DALL-E.

Something Else has only three episodes, hosted by Coulee Ross. The episodes air on CKMS-FM on Wednesdays from 11:00am to Noon on 7 and 21 January, and 4 February 2026.
