River Reads:
Airing Monday’s 2pm, Friday’s 1am on CFUR!
River Reads, hosted and narrated by River Wilde, is a national award winning program, where those of all ages can escape into fairy tales and strange stories; both new and old, but mostly old and at times macabre, or silly, or even perhaps a little confusing as written in old english and the host fumbles words, and then there’s those stories whose premises have perhaps not aged as well over the years. Laugh or think while listening to “River Ramble.” Or enjoy one of our Gender Blender tale(s), reimagining classic fairy tales’ gender roles. River Reads won Best Small Market Podcast at 2023 Canadian Radio Awards. River Reads is not a kids show but not not a kids show and may contain content suitable for a mature audience. Listener discretion is advised.

Looking at the next seven days in Prince George–Lheidli T’enneh, the weather forecast contains warmth, sunshine, and a small chance of precipitation. In the newsroom, here is what we’ve picked up on:
The Spruce Kings, Prince George–Lheidli T’enneh’s BCHL Hockey Club closed out the third round of their playoff season against the Nanaimo Clippers after a 2-6 loss on May 6th. The team wraps up their tour after a strong year.
Prices at the pump dropped from last week, with highs of ¢188.9/L and lows of ¢178.9/L for gasoline reported.
There are eight active fires in the Prince George fire district, one of which in the North East of the province about 100km from Fort Nelson is currently out of control.
On Tuesday May 5th, many people across our latitude in Western Canada looked up into the evening sky and saw a ghostly object moving over the horizon. Prince George Astronomical Society President, Malhar Kendurkar weighed in with what this actually means.
The Moose Hide Campaign took place Thursday May 14th with events held at the Native Friendship Centre and at CNC.
Despite significant revenue loss, the College of New Caledonia (CNC) announced a balanced projected budget on April 24, 2026 that required a number of sacrifices to achieve. After President Cindy Heitman spoke to us about this, CNC Student's Union rep Kevin Dharmani gave us his perspective as a member of student government and the Board of Governors student rep.
While the BC Wildfire Service has activated Category 2 & 3 fire bans across our region, it has not yet activated Category 1 bans, which pertain to small campfires. However it warns of “The Spring Dip.” Fire Information Officer Karly Desrosiers breaks the danger of that situation down for us and explains the nature of “Zombie,” or holdover, fires that re-emerge in the spring.
A number of local organizations including Everyone at the Table (EAT) are advocating for the city to adopt a Food Charter. The city has made moves towards this, identified in Resolution 14 of the 33 Resolutions the city had adopted following recommendations raised by the 2025 Official Community Plan (OCP). A story is developing in that area as we’ve so far spoken to local advocate April Ottesen.

Sighted Tuesday, May 5th, 2026, was a mysterious blob moving incrementally across the evening sky over Prince George Lheidli T’enneh. It proved hard to focus on, blurry to look at, like some kind of… space ghost. Penetrating the mystery of this interstellar oddity for CFURadio is Malhar Kendurkar, President of the Prince George Astronomical Society, who was also alarmed at the sight of this spectre.
For an astronomer though, this is a familiar sight related to space exploration, colloquially known as a “Space Jellyfish.” While the visibility of this industrial phenomena is unusual, the activity surrounding it no longer is. This dulls the excitement, but Kendurkar explains it is representative of the many inactive human objects in our night sky now interfering with the visibility of other, natural, phenomena.
While the blob still illuminates our imagination, Kendurkar hopes our attention focuses on what it represents, “how polluted our night sky actually has become over the years, and the more satellites we launch, the more debris there will be in our low earth orbit.” Over time this could lead to the Kessler Syndrome, a scenario where there is so much junk smashing around that we can’t get into our orbit without hitting dangerous debris.

Unfortunately, cleaning up the space junk cluttering our low earth orbit is prohibitively expensive for a non-profit astronomical organization to engage in. The society does encourage various space agencies to cover satellites in dark, light-absorbent, colours before they launch, but these advocacy efforts are limited. Regardless of the origin, eyes looking up at the night sky may observe stirring light and note Kendurkar’s reminder, “it’s still fascinating and it’s still extremely active, and it always will be active.”
