Where bad is good and worse is better. Amateur Hour features the best of the worst. Artists and bands that never got their fair share of airtime for how seemingly weird, aweful or cheesy they are will finally get their due. Tune in every week to outsider artists, celeb singers, and novelty bands square off in a battle for amateur supremacy.
A Supersonic sock-hop a go-go shock. I play the wild cuts from stale nostalgia records in thrift store bargain bins and yard sales. Plus, theme episodes.
Dollar Country is a radio show hosted by WTFC radio. It primarily features country 45’s that I find in dollar bins around the country. Featuring everything from old hits to b-sides, common records to rarities, and everything between the most popular artists and private press junk. I try to play things that I find good, interesting, or at least amusing, and I hope you like the show too.
If you’re a chronic nostalgic who loves the music of Newfoundland & Labrador, tune in to The NewFound Records Radio Hour. The show is recorded at the CHMR (MUN RADIO) studios at Memorial University in St. John’s, Newfoundland.
Join producer and host Wayne Tucker as he shines a light on rare gems retrieved from the vinyl deeps and supplements the music of the 50s, 60s, 70s & 80s with a generous sprinkling of history and trivia. Relive all kinds of local music featuring well-known pioneers like Sagebrush Sam, John White, Wilf Doyle, Dick Nolan, Joan Morrissey, the Du-cats, and more. And enjoy the resurrection of music by the likes of Burt Cuff, TNT, Borealis, Dave Nicol, the CJON Glee Club, Red Island, Anne Marie Murray, Bonnie Lou Nolan, the Keatniks and many, many more. So whether you’re a sentimental old-timer who’s stuck in a vinyl groove or a newbie eager to hear hard-to-find roots music of Newfoundland & Labrador, tune in to The NewFound Records Radio Hour.
I regularly download a pile of podcasts of CKUW shows to get me through the working day; Amateur Hour, RU Awake, The CARP, Trouble with the Sandman, Only Cowards, B-Sides & Other Treats, Knock Between Doors – they are all outstanding shows. CKUW is light years better than any radio I can receive here in the UK. Keep up the great work!
