Oh boy.
My obsession with themes is making its triumphant return to the airwaves tonight. I’ve decided to play as many songs as I can that contain a name in the title or lyrics, with a few new songs to keep it so fresh, so clean.
Stream CFUR live online or turn your radio dial to 88.7fm from 4-6pm.
Hello CFUR fans,
Just wanted to give you a heads up that three new shows start airing on CFUR today: Search Engine, Red Eye, and the North by East West mixtape.
Search Engine – Mondays at noon
Search Engine is a show that focuses on the shifting nature of culture and politics in the face of new technology. Every week, host Jesse Brown takes a look at some facet of this new world, be it blogs in Iran, video games in China, or the latest news on copyright law in Canada. Today’s episodes focus on the meaning of “open.”
Redeye – Mondays at 12:30(ish)
Red Eye is produced by Vancouver Cooperative Radio and distributed through the Rabble podcast network. It focuses on the issues of the day and takes a closer look– for example, today’s episodes focus on the climate conference in Bolivia and the story of Abousfian Abdelrazik, the Canadian who a year after a federal court ordered the Canadian government to allow to return home to Canada still can’t get a bank account or a passport.
North by East West Music Podcast – Mondays at 4
North by Eastwest is a Canadian music blogging collective from coast to coast to coast. Every week, the mixtape produces an hour of home-grown Canadian talent from every corner of the country.
Thanks to the wacky weather up here at the university, our transmitter has been knocked out by snow. We’re working on getting it back up and running, but in the meantime you can still tune in online at http://cfur.ca/listen. Mac users, we recommend you follow the instructions for listening to the stream in iTunes, the .pls signal is best. Or just download and open this link in iTunes, VLC Media Player, or whatever your desktop media player is: http://cfur.ca/high_bandwidth_2.pls
Starting tonight (May 20) will be a new/old show called Fur Gone Wild. A few of you may be familiar with it (Mom) but for those who aren’t, it’s essentially a fun mix of up-tempo music, post-rock and independent Canadian rock.
The magic is going to occur every Thursday from 5pm to 6pm. And it’s easy to listen! Just click on the link at the top of THIS PAGE!!!

As we’ve outlined earlier, a challenge of running CFUR over the summer months is that many of our on-air DJs head home or out to different jobs, and we are left with a whole slew of reruns and on-air hours to fill. This year, we’re doing a couple of things different. We’ve already been running CFUR in the Summer, a three-hour mix of new music from 1-4 on Monday through Wednesday. Now, we’re adding some new talk programs to the mix. Today at noon, you can tune in for the first episode of Natures Past. This is a fascinating production from Sean Kheraj, a postdoctoral research fellow in the Department of History at the University of British Columbia. Every episode, he takes a look at the environmental history community and research in Canada. Don’t know what that means? Well, today at 1 pm he’ll be explaining exactly what that is, and why it’s important.
Nature’s Past episodes are eclectic in length, so we’ll be teaming them with shorter production from the Rabble network. Today at about 12:45 they drop in on Cameroon to find out what you can tell about the country by listening to its music.
We’re still working on exact details, for other new shows, but we can tell you that CFUR will soon be broadcasting Search Engine, a weekly look at how technology affects politics and culture, Are We Alone?, a production from the SETI institute with support from NASA, Red Eye, a news and current events program from Vancouver co-op radio, as well as music shows from NxEW and the Hype Machine. There’s plenty of great productions out there, and one of the roles for CFUR is to help you discover them– and you can help us discover them. If there’s a show you think should be added, let us know on Twitter, Facebook, or info@cfur.ca.
We also want to make it clear that there is always room for original programming on CFUR, and these are just supplements to what we think is the lifeblood: great original programming. But right now, there’s room for both, and we’re happy to bring you the best of both worlds.
Tune in and let us know what you think!
The rumors are true! Someone gave Darcie the power to overwhelm the airwaves with self-deprecation! The young spinster in the making will now be occupying and wasting two hours of your life a week! That’s right; two hours!
Drop by CFUR every Wednesday from 4-6pm during the summer evenings and watch the latest trainwreck.
Bad, Not Cheap has decided to switch days! From now on, you can hear a new-born Bad, Not Cheap on Wednesdays at 4pm! If there are any future movements to different times and days, be sure to check back here to get the dirty dirty deets.
During winter, Mexico is one of the most common place to travel for most people in Prince George.

Today, education has become one of the common reason for traveling, and depends how this fact is important to the person, he/she might choose to travel beyond the borders his/her country. Traveling to another country to continue studying for long period is much more complicated than short term visit. Challenges that the person will face through all languages barrier, cultural differences and a lot of other issues make this process more difficult.
Faramarz Bigledou is an international student from Iran. He is studying master of Economic Developments at the University of Northern British Columbia.
