Brittanie Thompson, long-time listener of The Extra Mile and all-around fantastic person joins Veronika on the show and explain why dogs are better than children, reveal their secret nicknames and play some excellent music. All that and more on Episode 8!
Guests galore!! I am joined by not one, not two, but THREE in-studio guests tonight!
First up is Sunshine Coast MLA Nicholas Simons for this week's What's Up Down in Victoria segment, and we chat about the Agricultural Land Reserve, Drive ABLE, and more.
Next in the hot seat is local musician Trevor Refix whose band Texture & Light have just released their debut self-titled album. The first single off the album, A Quiet Place, just debuted at #1 in CBC Radio 3's R3-30 list, the top 30 independent Canadian music tracks for the week of November 8!
And speaking of our national broadcaster, CBC Radio 3's very own Grant Lawrence is also in the house! He's in town launching his latest book 'The Lonely End of the Rink' so we talk about that and, of course, Rob Ford.
PLUS! Music from Joni Mitchell (happy 70th birthday Joni!), Les Rita Mitsuoko, Hank 'n Lily, AroarA, Said the Whale, and more.
All kinds of new tracks, including one from local heroes Texture & Light, whose album "The Hard Problem of Consciousness" came out this week and knocked stupid arty poseurs The Arcade Fire off the CBC charts, ha HA!
