Episode #712

Well, Pledge-O-Rama is over for another year, and our listeners came through and helped the station comfortably surpass our goal, so we’re in good shape for the next year to come. Tell the Band to Go Home is still a little short of our goal, however, so feel free to get in a late pledge if you’re so inclined!

Today on the show, we’ve got some concerts to preview, including the return of our pal Matt Patershuk who joined us for a chat about his new album and the upcoming show. We’ve also got to do our Canadian duty by paying tribute to one of our country’s most universally beloved icons, Gord Downie.
