    Hello,

    Welcome to the official CKUW blog. A place that will house the lame, the cool, the weird, the scary. A place where underground culture can thrive and make babies. Here’s hoping. If you’re a programmer or listener of CKUW and you want me to post your story, opinion, picture, recipe, weblinks, ect. Do not hesitate to email me at kadadien@hotmail.com. As a gesture of goodwill for you the people of the world I had plans to say hello in 800 different languages. But I got lazy. So here’s the webpage.

  • This week on 9 Villages

    Posted by Rob on November 13th, 2006

    “On thursday a 2pm central, 9 villages will air the original versions of Arch Oblers radio dramas Suffer Little Children (Katherine Hepburn) and Johnny Got His Gun (James Cagney). Despite the fact that these broadcasts are over 70 years old, they could have been written yesterday and by no means does their age in any way diminish their emotional impact. We GAY-RUN-TEE the most depressing hour of radio drama ever! Even worse that the average trainwreck that is 9 villages!”
