December is a time for family, friends, and reflection as we get ready to embrace a new year anticipating what is "Coming Soon"? I start with a reflection on Black Friday origins, Thanksgiving, Twitter-Tude, & questioning family doctor practices. Then I take a look back at the guests and segments of the 2024 show as we hold Top 10 status in Canadian shows for Self Help, before we look forward to this month's gusts and topics.

1.
Marina Piraino, a 16 year old Canadian artist released her debut single, "Coming Soon", which has been drawing attention in the radio community. Noted for her mature and modern sound, Marina joins us for this exclusive and open interview. She shares some unexpected insights on her music approach, including how she compares herself to some of her favourites like Taylor Swift, Olivia Rodrigo, and Gracie Abrams. Her connection to family & music is inspiring, as is her oft-humble approach.

2. Tony Cardenas Montana,  is a Grammy nominated musician with gold & platinum accolades. He's also been a key member of the iconic rock band Great White & recently the late Jack Russell's Great White, now fronting the spin-off band, "Once Bitten" as well as "Shadow & The Thrill". Tony gets intimate in this interview as we dip in and out of his rock music, personal relationships, and business ventures, while reflecting on life and also having a few laughs. We also take a listen to: "Mista Bone", "Crazy", and "Bleeding Out".

3. Glass Tiger Review is me taking a look at the Alan Frew lead band as they took their music stand in Richmond Hill with opening act, former Much Music VJ, Erica Ehm. Overcoming a picket-line delay at the Richmond Hill for Performing Arts venue, the band looked like they could have played all night and Erica like she could spin up Much Music again on her own!

Stuff You Should Know
Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
