CITY SLANG

Canadian music legend Julie Doiron joins us for a special hour-long interview! We discuss kids, the meditation of doing dishes, kale salad recipes, her time as a community radio host, and Julie Doiron Day!

Plus we run her through the Sappyfest Questionnaire she invented, and we ask her to rate the CITY SLANG questionnaire with hilarious results!

And we play tunes from throughout her career:

Julie and the Wrong Guys - Self-Titled - Call My Own Shots

It’s funding drive season! We work our butts off to make CITY SLANG. If you dig what we do consider, supporting our mother station CHUO to make sure we stay on the air FOREVERRRR! Head over to http://chuo.fm/support/ to find out how.
 
Meanwhile, we’ve put together an early BEST OF to remind you of all the ridiculous things we got on the air this year! Featuring:
 
  • The time we interviewed SIMPLY SAUCER/JESSE LOCKE at our Dominion Tavern live show and got heckled by drunken punks!
  • The time we went on an S-Town style odyssey with MOTHERHOOD!
  • The bonkers CITY SLANG BE OUR GUEST CONTEST when we surprised BONNIE DOON member Gina Vinelli!
  • QUIZ CHALLENGES featuring JAY ARNER & JESSICA DELISLE taking a Star Trek quiz, and LAB COAST taking a Degrassi quiz!
  • The time we premiered PENTAGON BLACK VOL. 2 and musicians across Canada sent us hilarious recordings to intro their tracks!
