Program Directory

  • Radio Ecoshock

    Radio Ecoshock offers a vari­ety of Green news, fea­tures, and Indie music. Our ​“Radio Ecoshock News” arrives from dis­tant jun­gles, and from the chem­i­cal plant next door. We report on endan­gered species, tox­ic tech­nolo­gies, defor­esta­tion, smog, cli­mate change, nuclear weapons and reac­tors, over­fish­ing in the oceans, and more. We’ll pass on the activ­i­ties of envi­ron­ment groups, large and small. Ecoshock radio takes you to far­away places, to expe­ri­ence nature’s sounds. And var­i­ous inde­pen­dent artists have con­tributed their music and sound clips.

  • Radio Hootenanny!

    Radio Hoo­te­nan­ny is an hour long pro­gram ded­i­cat­ed to Cana­di­an artists. All gen­res are part of the mix!

  • Radio State

    Sam­ple free jazz, a tau­tol­ogy; mod­ern clas­si­cal, a con­tra­dic­tion; also prog, pop, post-punk, hard­core, harsh noise, hushed noise; just don’t say drone. 

  • Radio Survivor

    Radio Sur­vivor attempts to shed light on the ongo­ing impor­tance of radio: from the air­waves (FM, AM, Short-wave, HD, satel­lite) to online. We are pro­po­nents for the rel­e­vance of radio as a par­tic­i­pa­to­ry com­mu­ni­ca­tions medi­um. As both fans and pro­duc­ers, we write about the prob­lems and prospects of radio.

    We embrace col­lege radio sta­tions in cri­sis. We defend radio pirates. And we care about the on-going sur­vival of our favorite radio stations.

    We are obsessed with the future of radio and are charmed by radio his­to­ri­ans, radio drama­tists, radio blog­gers, and any­one else who cares about radio as deeply as we do.

  • RADIOLA!

    A week­ly radio show host­ed by Andy Senior, whose focus is on jazz and pop of the 1920s and 1930s, but veers into oth­er gen­res of pre-1940 music as the mood of the pro­gram dic­tates. RADI­O­LA! is a show­case for those who keep the spir­it of this music alive in performance.

  • Radiolab

    Radi­o­lab believes your ears are a por­tal to anoth­er world. Where sound illu­mi­nates ideas, and the bound­aries blur between sci­ence, phi­los­o­phy, and human expe­ri­ence. Big ques­tions are inves­ti­gat­ed, tin­kered with, and encour­aged to grow. Bring your curios­i­ty, and we’ll feed it with possibility.

  • Re: Define Radio

    Join Alex Rid­ley every Fri­day Night from 1:00am to 2:00am for Re: Define Radio! While still being deeply root­ed in Win­nipeg, Alex Rid­ley scours the coun­try in search of new elec­tron­i­cal­ly pow­ered tunes to share on 101.5 UMFM. Don’t be sur­prised if there’s the occa­sion­al spe­cial guest DJ or cura­tor! ;)

    While nev­er shy­ing away from more estab­lished guests, Re: Define Radio seeks to help show­case new music by bring­ing grass­roots artists into the lime­light.

    Things may get a lit­tle weird; expect beeps, clicks, and oth­er strange sounds. Heck-yes for #techyes!
