Show Notes

Jared McKetiak is the longtime big wheel down at Winnipeg's mighty campus/community radio staple UMFM 101.5.

We sat down for a conversation about falling in love with alternative radio, how the station navigated the pandemic, and the way UMFM stays afloat thanks to the generosity of its passionate listeners.

Did you know that UMFM is one of the many places you can hear Witchpolice Radio? Tune in at 7 a.m. Fridays!

(Since UMFM’s Pledge-O-Rama fundraising drive is happening right now, this one jumped the queue and came out before a previously-recorded interview I did about the city's other campus/community station, CKUW. Stay tuned for that one!)

This episode brought to you by our pals at Devine Shirt Company.

Huge thanks to everyone who supports the podcast on Patreon! You can help out for as little as a couple bucks a month (a little 'pledge-o-rama' of our own, eh?) if you like the show and want to throw some change in the guitar case!

As always, if you like the podcast, please tell a friend or 20! Rate and review on your podcast player of choice! Word of mouth is still the main way Witchpolice Radio reaches new ears. Thanks for listening.
