A councillor, an anniversary, and a farewell - today at 4 PM

Today will be a very interesting episode you won't want to miss.

* At a special time of 4.05 PM, we will be joined by Drew Mindell of the Illegal Curve Radio Show, to preview their first anniversary show that will start tonight on Kick-FM at 7 PM. With top-shelf guests and great analysis, the IC crew has made a significant impact on hockey coverage locally and across the continent, and we are proud of our association with them.

* Mike Pagtakhan of Point Douglas, (substituting for our scheduled guest, Daniel McIntyre councillor Harvey Smith) sits in with us at 4.20 to discuss civic issues that will include the "tax grab" zoning certificates, the rolling garbage bin expansion, taxicabs being carjacked, the Active Transportation initiative excluding motorists from planning and the favoritism shown to the bike lobbyists, as well as a listener complaint about the Parking Authority and their total lack of accountability.

* After the Crime, Courts and Public Safety Update, at 5.15 the show will be dedicated to the thoughts and comments of Shannah-Lee Vidal, who will be leaving 92.9 Kick-FM as she assumes duties as midday host in Yellowknife.

Shannah-Lee has gone far beyond the call of duty as the longest-serving producer of The Great Canadian Talk Show, voicing many of our promos and ad spots, providing segments on lifestyle and local events, and calmly dealing with callers, technical failures and the manic pace of the show. She has epitomized the term 'grace under pressure' and her friendship and wise counsel have helped guide TGCTS for the past 3 years. We will miss her.

Thursday - live remote from CDI College;

Friday - at 4.05 Scott Taylor reports from the Super Bowl in Miami, and That Wine Guy joins Spirited Kenny and Marty at 4.45 PM, with Jon Waldman of Slam!Sports helping us wrap up the show at 5.20 with his own Colts - Saints prediction.
