Taking you through the static, through your dreams, through the galaxy, and beyond to bring you a slate of tunes that will carry you through a long winter’s night.

Kitchener, ON – A new tool for assessing how levels of various services differ between neighbourhoods across Waterloo Region has launched by the One Million Neighbours WR coalition. The first version of its Neighbourhood Services Map ranks each neighbourhood for access levels based on availability of transit, amount of green space, number of schools, libraries, and healthcare infrastructure, and how many community spaces exist.
A key feature of the map is that the calculations account for population, and as the number of residents that call Waterloo Region home grows to over 1,000,000 in the coming decades, keeping track of the equity of resource distribution across communities as they grow will be key to understanding a neighbourhood’s needs.
This show features an interview with KW local Sam Nabi, the project coordinator of One Million Neighbours W, and a board member of Hold the Line WR. The map was created with open source data by Civic Tech WR volunteers who will update the data on the map “at least annually”. You can access the map from Connected KW‘s webpage.
In the studio with Elias-TTS Media- and JJ Cali. For videography and media needs. TTSMedia.inc & JJcali.lugo on IG. They present their songs: Humo, Never lloraste por mi and Frescito. And the snow melted near the radio station from their energy in the middle of the winter.
We hear Omah Lay-Understand-and Joeboy: Sip (Alchohol) THEN: Evidence of Eve – who creates handsewn clothing, accessories, and prints. Celebrate Nigeria @evidenceofeve on IG. Eve shares creative stories and inspire us to show up. We listen to Ayra Starr, Commas; Joeboy, Body and Soul, and Libianca, People.

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

What’s up, y’all? The show still airs on Sunday at 10:00 PM, but due to the weather today, a family event got postponed by a couple of days, right when I would be recording the show, so my schedule’s a bit wonky and I’m putting everything together early. Hey, you benefit by finding out what I’ve added to Libretime this week earlier than usual!
