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!

We sat down with Blaine Sharp to discuss his track The First Snowfall, which has reached over 100k streams! We discuss how James Cameron is rejecting the 51st state talk, the holiday season, what’s trending and we play the hottest old school and new school music!
There was no guest in the studio today, so Bob played some KWCon Christmas music by Waterloo Region musicians. Except for The Small Town Titans, but Bob couldn’t let such a catchy tune escape unplayed.
dan kellar Kitchener, ON – As the Waterloo regional police ask for another $20,000,000 dollars to be added to their yearly budget, in addition to $173,000,000 for a new “communications centre”, residents and even some regional councillors are questioning the ballooning expenditures. A primary concern is that yearly multi-million dollar increases to the police budgets are starving other services of funding since council is pressured to keep tax increases low.
The Waterloo Region police budget, which was over $230,00,000 in 2025, has increased by more than $100,000,000 since 2014, and has more than doubled since 2013. This year’s request of over $250,000,000 will represent over 30% of the regional budget. In comparison, housing and homelessness services are budgeted at $165,200,000 for 2026.
The police presented their budget to the Regional Council at the end of November and in a council meeting on December 3rd council heard from the police association and residents. While the police say more money to the force and more cops “will help save residents” delegates noted that funding upstream services, such as housing options and mental health supports, have more impact on reducing crime than more armed cops with “boots on the ground”.
In a surprise move ahead of the budget vote on December 16th, Kitchener Mayor Berry Vrbanovic put forth a motion to block the police’s capital budget saying the new communications centre is “beyond their mandate” and it “is highly unlikely that all three emergency services would engage in this partnership in any foreseeable future”. However the same motion calls for the approval of the $20,000,000 yearly increase to the police budget.
This show features audio from both the December 3rd and November 26th council meetings.
