CKUT titans Howard Stretch Carr and Pat Dillon Moore have both been powering 30 years of Community outreach through their respective radio shows, West Indian Rhythms and Bhum Bhum Tyme.

Every third Thursday of the month the Radio Moon collective brings you an hour of radio from 2 to 3 pm, created by people living a full life with mental health issues.

Today we are broadcasting LIVE from Forward House. Forward House is a community-based mental health organization located in NDG, and it’s where we create the magic that is Radio Moon.

Today on Radio Moon we will focus on the theme of ACCEPTANCE. We have group discussions, poetry and lots of words of wisdom to share on this theme. We will also take you around Forward House to interview some of the staff and members, so stick around to find out more about this amazing place.

Welcome to Radio Moon, radio that’s good for your mental health.

Hosted by Wizzy Moonchaser, So Kay, Tamara Angeline, RG Music, and Lord Pharaoh.

This special one hour broadcast hosted by CKUT's Prison Radio includes reports both from the Caravan and from those within the walls of these institutions. Social distancing is impossible inside prisons and detention centres and those inside remain at high risk of contracting COVID-19. There are now over 260 confirmed cases of COVID-19 linked to Canadian carceral institutions around the country, where people are held on both criminal and migrant holds.

There have also been cases confirmed in both the Laval and Toronto migrant detention centres. On April 16th, the Correctional Service of Canada confirmed that an inmate at BC’s Mission Institution prison had died due to COVID-19, with over 50 other inmates testing positive for the virus.

From March 24th to April 1st, detainees at the Laval migrant prison held an eight-day hunger strike to demand their immediate liberation and decent, safe housing upon release. While many hunger-strikers have since been released, 11 people remain in detention.

Despite the mounting calls from dozens of organizations for Canada to release migrant detainees and prisoners, the Canadian government still refuses to free all prisoners. The CBSA for its part has been slowly releasing migrant detainees on a case-by-case basis through individual detention review hearings.

Real radical radio and some music by Erica from the Bay Area - and Jess Manniquin-Head of Lonely Boa.
