The Canadian Thanksgiving Edition of The R3•30

It really is a tragedy when one runs out of hyperbolic, exclamatory statements to make about one's show. So, this week's R3-30 is really, really nice. I can say that it is so full, we were thinking of making it a two-parter...sort of a cliffhanger dealie where my character's twin brother escapes from prison to foil my marriage to Madison.

I know, I know. You hate Madison. She thinks she's so big.

There is a new number one, four chartbreakers, a pitch from Matthew at iheartmusic.net, and we give away a satellite radio to Mike in Calgary! Mike called in last week to pitch a song, we used his pitch on the air, he gets a radio! If you pitch a song that we use, you'll get a satellite radio, too. You have to call 1-877-955-6565, tell us which song should be on the R3•30, and why. Don't forget to leave us your phone number, though. This week, you'll hear a very imaginative caller who gave us a radio drama while driving in Manitoba. We play it for two reasons: 1) it's great and (2) it's a perfect example of someone going through a lot of work and not getting a radio because they didn't leave their phone number!!!

The R3•30 is the perfect companion to your Thanksgiving weekend. 12 noon EST on Saturday on Sirius 94, then 12 midnight EST on Saturday and Sunday on terrestrial radio (CBCRadio2).
