On September 10, the program welcomes Sarah Tsiang, an incredibly gifted local poet and writer. October 1, meet Catherine Owen, an extensively published poet (and bass guitarist) from Vancouver who is sweeping through Ontario as she launches her latest book “Seeing Lessons” from Wolsak & Wynn. October 8, Eric Folsom, one of Kingston’s best known and favourite poets, takes over the airwaves. Tune in every Friday at 4pm for your weekly dose of poetry and spoken word with Finding a Voice.

Prison Farms, Prison Justice
The scene at Collins Bay Pen last Monday.
Listen to CFRC 101.9fm for breaking news and in-depth coverage of prison farms and prison justice. Monday, August 9 at 5pm we pre-empt our regular national alternative radio news program, Groundwire, for a special edition of Alternative Frequency, offering breaking news on the Prison Farm issue and sound from the blockade protest. We’ll talk about the latest developments, those who were arrested today, and where the movement to save the prison farms will go from here. Tuesday, August 10 from 5pm to midnight, CFRC brings you a special broadcast in recognition of Prisoners Justice Day, an annual event in remembrance of all those who have died behind bars. The program will feature more news on the local prison farms issue, features on aboriginal, women’s and queer issues within the penal system, a memorial segment and music requests made by people in Kingston-area facilities.
