rfg #72 - Once you're a jet, then you become a coyote [89.2 Mb]

In tribute to Canada Day, this frequently beguiling episode is devoted to the province of Manitoba. Naturally, Guy Maddin takes centre stage and his 2003 film The Saddest Music in the World is the profile.

rfg #73 - Just the saviour on the Skytrain [84.9 Mb]

A somewhat goofy episode, mostly due to sleep deprivation on my part and return from a family visit to an Ontario cottage. Amongst everything else, there's vinyl juggling as we spotlight Peter Gabriel and his soundtracks to Birdy and The Last Temptation of Christ.
