Tomorrow night, tune in to CHSR-FM 97.9 in Fredericton or the online stream at chsrfm.ca to hear the show! We’ll give out the call-in number during the show, but if you want to phone in your Strange Encounter call 206-203-2292 and leave a message, or email weirdshow[at]gmail.com with your story.

As a result of this being on Friday night, I’m not likely to have time for a regular TWS episode for Saturday morning. Some of the material from the Strange Encounters special might make it on the podcast, but tune in live for the  real experience.

You see, this isn’t just about doing a great show. Sure, that’s what I’m intending to do, but this is also about raising money for my adopted home, the campus/community radio station CHSR-FM. I’ve been a volunteer here for over a dozen years, and now work here every day. I believe in the power of radio, and the great role in the community that we play as a hub of communication. If you’ve enjoyed my show, give a good portion of the credit to the station that allowed me to create it, and donate to our station’s Fundrive. Thank you.

See you on Friday night!  8pm AST/GMT-4, 7pm EST

Please donate to CHSR, the radio station which spawned The WEIRD Show!
