gak is back for another two hours of radio art, though he had plans for eight hours, so prepare for four separate layers of sonic mayhem, mixing spoken word, field recordings, soothing drone and not-so-soothing noise, highlighting the creative minds that inspire us all. there are eulogies for some brilliant souls who left us in 2022: vangelis, george crumb, mira calix, norm chambers, klaus schulze & ingram marshall.

Before closing the book completely on 2022, we'll bid adieu via our annual year-in-review episode.

We're in the midst of Hanukkah so since we got our counter-Christmas episode taken care of last week, this one focuses on the Jewish festival of lights though there are some songs about default holidays and December in the mix. Our soundtrack profile is not tied to Hanukkah per se but a very dear soundtrack to me: 1971's Fiddler on the Roof, the film based on the legendary musical. L'chaim! We had to hoped to do this episode live for the 2nd night of Hanukkah but Vancouver got a nasty winter storm and the roads are a mess, so commuting up the hill to UBC has been reported as treacherous. Hence, we air this on Thursday afternoon with a repeat on Boxing Day so some listeners can enjoy this during the 8 crazy nights along with the usual Monday evening spot. Chag Sameach! 1.

For your Thanksgiving episode, you get some leftovers. gak's on the road but after August's podcast server outage, he's dug up two lost episodes (615 + 616 from August 2022) and mashed them together into an odd pre-recorded hybrid so podcast listeners can enjoy a condensed version of profiles tied to The Northman, Das Boot & The Neverending Story whilst the radio folks hear less crackle and snap but more pop.
