	13 Apr 2022	Tony Orr - The First Source for Local News	00:47:42
Send us a text Morning news on radio has long been a staple of our work day. We have long relied on local newscasters to get up in the middle of the night to write those stories to keep all of us informed. Tony Orr moved to Kingston in 1977 to take up the morning shift at CKLC and Y98; 24 years later, he moved 'across the street' to a brand new operation that included KROCK and Country 93.5. He was there for another 20 years. There is more to Tony than just the news. He got involved in his community, joining different groups - all with the goal of making his new home town a better place. Over the past 40+ years, he has told many stories and shares some in this episode. This episode was recorded virtually in February 2022.

	30 Mar 2022	Georgette Fry - A Woman Who Just Loves to Sing!	00:59:06
Send us a text Georgette Fry is a name familiar to music fans in Southeastern Ontario. She has been singing her heart out for over 40 years. Her vocal style has bridged the gap between jazz, soul, blues and gospel, with the power of Etta James and the rasp of Bonnie Raitt. Her debut solo LP, back in 1996, “Rites of Passage”, was nominated for a Juno Award. Georgette continues to perform with some of the best musicians around, reinventing herself to showcase the talents that have made her a favourite. In 2002, she spearheaded the organization of choirs in over two dozen communities, offering women the opportunity to get together and sing! SHOUT SISTER is 20 years old and continues to thrive! This is a new conversation recorded in mid-February, 2022. Here is the link to the video Georgette and I spoke of during our conversation. Hold the cursor over the link, press Ctrl & click ….

	27 Apr 2022	Alexander Landry - An Officer in the Forces, almost a decade in	00:44:55
Send us a text For those listening from outside the area, Kingston is home to a large military base. Thousands of families have been posted in and out of this community. Kingston is also where you’ll find the Royal Military College (RMC) – a degree-granting university whose primary purpose is training military officers. Alex Landry is an officer in the Canadian Armed Forces. He has been posted to bases in New Brunswick, Ontario, Ukraine and Turkey. Community involvement has also been important to him – working on flood relief in Ottawa, and volunteering as a firefighter and first-aid responder in New Brunswick. He is passionate about both. In this episode, I chat with Alex about the last ten years, about the experiences of integrating both passions – from entering RMC to serving with the Canadian contingent at the NATO base in Turkey. This conversation was recorded virtually in late February 2022.

Send us a text Lubomyr Luciuk is a Professor at the Royal Military College in Kingston. He was born and raised in this city in Southeastern Ontario, whose parents immigrated to Canada from Ukraine in the late 40’s. He obviously has an emotional attachment to his ancestral home. At the same time, his passion has been the study of Ukraine and the surrounding geography. He is an author of many books on the topic and has been sought after to comment on the current crisis. In this extended episode, Lubomyr sits down with host, Dave Cunningham, to help us try to understand the past, the present and the future of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

	21 Jun 2022	Jim Reid - Making Difficult Times Easier	00:32:45
Send us a text Podcasts featuring local history have been very popular with listeners. Bill Stevenson was my guest for a show focused on the Facebook Page he set up – “Vintage Kingston”. Chris West shared plans for the revitalization of the Marine Museum of the Great Lakes. Brian Johnson told us stories of his 30+ years as captain of the Wolfe Island Ferry – stories about the Island and the waters between it and the City of Kingston. This is another in the series but a little unique. Jim Reid is the fourth generation to own and operate James Reid Funeral Home here in Kingston. It all began when his Great-Grand Father, the original “James Reid”, arrived here with his mother and siblings. He put his name on the facade on the building at 256 Princess Street in 1854 – and it’s still there!

	05 Jul 2022	Helen Cooper - Still passionate about the City!	00:45:45
Send us a text Helen Cooper was first elected to municipal council in Kingston back in 1980. Eight years later, she became the first woman to take on the job of Mayor. This episode profiles life before politics, during her time around the municipal ‘horseshoe’, and positions she occupied post elected office. Local government is obviously a very important part of community service, but volunteerism plays a critical role with almost every aspect of our society. In addition to her career in politics, Helen continues to contribute.

	07 Jun 2022	Rob Watkins - Musically, Keeping it Simple	00:45:15
Send us a text Rob Watkins is back with a new conversation. As with many singer/songwriters during the pandemic, he spent a good chunk of his time writing songs. When it came time to recording them, he chose to present the music in its simplest form, offering listeners the opportunity to hear the songs as he had written them. In this episode, we speak about that, as well as his desire to seek out other musicians in the community, whose styles may be different from his, with a view to possibly integrating new elements into his own music. We also spent time talking about performing – what venue does he prefer these days, after decades of entertaining. For more info on Rob’s latest collection of music – a CD called “Euphoria” – send him a message through his Facebook page.

Send us a text John Price has been a successful realtor for over 30 years – and has seen some changes. Along the way, he has developed relationships with the military community in Kingston – particularly with the Family Resource Centre. His other passion involves a love of Corvettes and somewhere near 400 of them are expected to join him for a weekend in June – an event John and his wife, Heather, have organized for the second time in four years!

	19 Jul 2022	Jamie McKenzie-Naish – The Power of Cultural Heritage	00:42:05
Send us a text Her Dad loved museums and her Mom was a teacher. So it seemed only natural that Jamie McKenzie-Naish would someday combine that ‘heritage’ as a museum guide, curator and now facilitator working with the Kingston & Area Association of Museums, Art Galleries and Historic Sites. As Managing Director of the organization, she works to support those sites, so they continue to grow and thrive. This conversation follows Jamie’s journey from Kingston, to Peterborough, to Leicester in the U.K., and back to Kingston.

	06 Sep 2022	Gord Hunter - Talking to the Animals	00:35:00
Send us a text Gord Hunter has been passionate about animals since he found that wounded garter snake as a kid. He's always had pets and now he helps look after many, many more everyday as the Executive Director of the Kingston Humane Society. He joins host, Dave Cunningham, to talk about that passion, and how the Humane Society is rebuilding after COVID. He is also passionate about writing and gets to demonstrate those skills with his blog on the Society's web page - stories about various animals he has come to know, and the Society itself. And, oh yes, he has written about people as well, people who have no direct connection to the KHS - Doug Gilmour and Bruce Springsteen, for instance. All of that in this episode of THE KINGSTONIAN PODCAST - Season 6!

	20 Sep 2022	Vicki Keith - Learning Life Lessons from Sport	00:35:00
Send us a text Years ago, Vicki Keith woke up in the middle of the night and decided that marathon swimming was going to be her sport; she pulled down her copy of the Guinness Book of World Records and focused on some milestones she felt she could achieve. In 1988, she became the first person to swim across all five of Canada’s Great Lakes in the space of 61 days. She has 16 world records to her credit and has now dedicated her time to coaching swimming for youth with physical disabilities, and their able-bodied siblings.

	04 Oct 2022	CFRC Radio - 100 Years!	00:51:00
Send us a text This episode is a little different. The Podcast does not normally profile an organization or an institution but when a radio station reaches its Centennial, you need to acknowledge it. And when it’s a campus/community station, you need to spend some time talking about it! STEVE CUTWAY is the longest-serving station manager at CFRC, having spent some time before that volunteering as a student at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario – which where the station is located. And that’s where he and I met, some 50 years ago! We don’t cover the entire century, but do talk about the ‘beginning’, the people and the experience.

	18 Oct 2022	Rick Choma – Carving out a Career	00:38:33
Send us a text You may have heard that a radio station in Kingston, Ontario, Canada, celebrated its 100th Anniversary in early October 2022. CFRC is a campus/community station, located on the campus of Queen’s University. Over the years, some of the volunteer staff have chosen to use their time at CFRC as a learning opportunity; a chance to hone their skills and pursue a career in professional broadcasting. In this episode we profile one such individual with a passion for radio. After attending Queen’s, and CFRC, RICK CHOMA eventually got a position at CKWS Radio as a part-time broadcaster, covering the overnight shifts on the weekends. Over a 20+ year career, Rick worked at five different stations, in the same city, doing something different at each one. Follow that journey in this conversation with host, Dave Cunningham. Songs we spoke of, but didn’t play: · Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo (Heartbreaker) · Mama Let Him Play – Doucette · Make Me Do Anything You Want – A Foot in Coldwater · Signs – Five Man Electrical Band Our theme music is “Stasis Oasis”, by Tim Aylesworth Follow us on *Facebook, Linkedin, Instagram, & Threads* Send comments & suggestions to thekingstonianpodcast@gmail.com Episodes also air weekly on CJAI at 101.3fm (Tue. at 4pm)
	01 Nov 2022	Savannah Shea – Staying Connected with Her Music	00:35:00
Send us a text I don’t think it matters where you live. You’ll be out at some music venue and a singer comes out on stage, a local performer, moves up to the mic, and wow! “Why haven’t I heard that voice before?” My guest in this episode has had music as part of her DNA since she was a child. She began by participating in a well-known local choir; took advantage of any ‘open-mic’ session she could; and studied music and voice at the post-secondary level. These days, music is her life’s work – she sings, teaches and composes her own music. There are some great singer/songwriters in almost every community around the world; artists who love to get on stage and share their music. Our role is to get out and listen! This is one person’s story. Our guest is Savannah Shea. For more information on Savannah, you will find her on Instagram - @savannahsheamusic .

	15 Nov 2022	Norm Foster – Canada’s Preeminent Comic Playwright	00:29:30
Send us a text Before he became the most produced playwright in the history of the country; before he was appointed as an Officer of the Order of Canada for his body of work; and before he moved to Fredericton, Norm Foster lived and worked as a radio broadcaster for CKWS in Kingston, Ontario. That was back in the mid-seventies. It was in New Brunswick that he developed his passion for writing plays. Now, with some 70+ productions to his credit, it is said that on any given day of the year, one of those plays is either in rehearsal or in performance somewhere in the world. Forty-five years ago, Norm and host, Dave Cunningham, both worked at that radio station. In mid-September 2022, they both got together virtually for this conversation. For more information.

	29 Nov 2022	Willie Nicol – “What’s Stopping You?”	00:39:00
Send us a text After a 31-year career as a policeman in Scotland, and 7 years in the corporate security industry before being made redundant, Willie Nicol wasn’t quite ready to retire. His wife had an idea. Realizing that he had spent much of his life helping people, she suggested he take a more direct approach. He then retrained and started his own business as a Personal Development Coach. Host, Dave Cunningham met Willie on an online networking seminar and thought his story did merit a longer conversation. This virtual chat took place in mid-September 2022, with Willie at his home in Loans, Scotland and Dave in Kingston, Ontario. This episode explores his passion for continuing his mission to help – one person at a time.

	27 Dec 2022	Stephen Lee Naish – Author, “Screen Captures”	00:48:00
Send us a text One can make a film; or watch a film. One can also debate the meaning of film with friends. But there are a precious few who have a certain passion for films and how they relate to politics and pop culture – a passion that involves putting those thoughts to paper. Our guest is one such individual; his name is Stephen Lee Naish. Stephen’s latest book is “Screen Captures’ – a collection that explores film sagas, actors, directors, and the fans that watch them. In this episode, Stephen and host Dave Cunningham talk about that book and how his writing career evolved. We also spend a little time talking about whether ‘reading a book’ is still as popular a pastime as it once was. This episode was recorded in mid-October 2022.

	13 Dec 2022	Ted Hsu – Blending Science with Politics	00:29:29
Send us a text In this episode we speak with a politician, who, like most others, wasn’t always a politician. He was/is a scientist – an individual passionate about integrating the theoretical with the practical. Ted Hsu served a term as the Member of Parliament in Ottawa representing the constituency of Kingston & the Islands (Ontario). After a break, he now represents the same citizens as the Member of the Ontario Provincial Parliament in Toronto. Dealing with climate change has always been high on his agenda, influenced by his ongoing conversations with his family. Hope you enjoy the conversation and if you do, please share, and subscribe.

	10 Jan 2023	Janet McDonald – Making it Ring, by Hand	00:33:00
Send us a text This episode of the Podcast profiles a musician, who leads a group of dedicated players – all playing hand bells. Janet McDonald is the director of the “Limestone Ringers”, a hand bell choir based at Edith Rankin Memorial United Church, located at the west-end of Kingston. Hand bells trace their evolution back to the big bells in the spires, pulled by long ropes, back in the late 1600’s, in the British Isles. These days, the “Ringers” perform in churches, primarily, with a repertoire of sacred and popular music. Promoting the choir, incorporating new music, and bringing like-minded bell ringers together – all part of Janet’s passion for her role.

	07 Feb 2023	Wendy Huot – Big Screen, Downtown	00:45:45
Send us a text In many cities, film buffs catch their favourite movies at a multiplex theatre, usually located on the outskirts of town. However, there is still an appetite for that ‘evening out’ at a downtown outlet. Hundreds of independents have accepted the challenge and ‘set up shop’ downtown offering a wide selection of movies. But being an ‘independent’ is no easy task. You need to be passionate about running a smaller theatre. One such person is WENDY HUOT. She owns ‘The Screening Room’ in downtown Kingston and she is the guest in this episode of ‘The Kingstonian Podcast’.

	24 Jan 2023	Jamal Saeed – Chronicling his “Road From Damascus”	00:50:35
Send us a text Jamal Saeed is an author who lives in Kingston, Ontario. He first arrived as a refugee from the Middle East back in 2016. Jamal grew up in Syria; as a young man, he spent 30 months on the run avoiding the secret police for expressing his views on the need for basic human rights in his country. Eventually, he was forced to spend a total of 12 years in prison – never charged. Upon release, he continued his education, got married and raised a family. The civil war made life too dangerous, and he and his family made their way to Kingston as refugees. Jamal tells his story in his new book, “My Road from Damascus” and he sits down with Dave Cunningham in this episode of “The Kingstonian Podcast”.

	21 Mar 2023	Dan MacWhirter – Still Making a Contribution	00:37:00
Send us a text We are talking about retirement in this episode. Baby Boomers have been wrapping up their working-lives for several years now. Some have favoured the more traditional approach to retirement – making time for travel; focusing on activities they didn’t have as much time for while employed. Others have chosen to continue with their life’s work or moved to another passion. In this edition of the Podcast, I speak with Dan MacWhirter . After forty-three years, and three different careers, our guest opted to relocate to North Bay, Ontario, to help his son open a new business. Dan and I worked together for about a decade; retired from the same business around the same time; and took different paths. This conversation explores the decisions he made along the way and why “drinking coffee and visiting with some amazing people” makes his latest endeavour the “best job in the world”.

This episode tells the story of one person’s passion for finding a way to take ethically sourced beans and converting them into tasty chocolate bars. Dr. Anne Godlewska spent many years as a Professor in the Geography Department at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario.

Send us a text It all began in the mid-‘60s, when a young drummer named Kim Berly placed an ad in a Calgary newspaper, hoping to find a band to join. What he found was the start of something much bigger—a musical journey that would span more than five decades. Alongside fellow musicians Rich Dodson and Ronnie King, Kim became part of The Stampeders, a band that would go on to leave an indelible mark on the Canadian rock scene. With hits like “Carry Me,” “Devil You,” and the timeless classic “Sweet City Woman,” The Stampeders built a loyal following and have continued to perform around the world for nearly 60 years, drawing in new fans while keeping longtime supporters rocking. Their enduring appeal speaks to the power of their music and the deep connection they’ve built with their audience. This conversation with Kim Berly was recorded in November 2024, over Zoom, from his home in British Columbia.

If you know The Stampeders’ music, you’ll love hearing the stories behind the songs. And if you're new to their sound, you're in for a treat.
