Radio Free Palestine (RFP) is organizing for the 78th anniversary of the ongoing Palestinian Nakba and resistance to Zionist Colonialism, Imperialism and Genocide commemorated this year on Friday, 15 May 15 2026.

Pacifica station ♦WPFW-FM will once again be the hub/host for the English language programming. Radio Waterloo will carry excerpts throughout the day.

Radio Free Palestine is highlighted in a chapter of ♦Free media: issues, challenges and proposals. We encourage listeners to read Radio Free Palestine: A Model for Cross-Border Solidarity Broadcasting.

Radio Free Palestine is designed to bring together people working on the issues of Palestine in Arabic, Spanish, English, and French in a 24 hour radio marathon commemorating the Palestinian Nakba or Catastrophe, internationally remembered on May 15th. The content will prioritize the Palestinian point-of-view, covering many diverse aspects of Palestinian opinion and culture that are underrepresented or misrepresented by mainstream media. One objective is to present the issues in a marathon format to flip the media system that marginalizes Palestinian voices, and also to provide historical context for the Nakba and the international struggle for a Free Palestine.

Listeners are engaged with award-winning programming that brings forward marginalized voices within the Palestinian community, including local diaspora voices, women, popular non-violent movements, and the multitude of flourishing liberationist arts and culture initiatives enforcing Palestinian humanity.

♦CKUT-FM, where Radio Free Palestine was born, received the 2009 Community Radio Awards for Best Special Programming for the Radio Free Palestine Broadcast held May 15th, 2008.

Radio Waterloo is not able to run the entire Radio Free Palestine marathon, but will feature excerpts throughout the day.

Radio Free Palestine airs on CKMS-FM on Friday 15 May 2026 at:

• 4:00am to 5:00am: Music from and about Palestine.
• 5:00am to 6:00am: DJ Abby – The End Has Begun: Music Beckoning a Liberated Palestine.
• 8:00am to 9:00am: Democracy Now!
• 2:00pm to 3:00pm: Palestinian Youth Movement – Generation after Generation, Until Return and Liberation: The PYM DMV Nakba 2026 Broadcast.

From social media influencer culture to "buy now, pay later" spending, financial FOMO can quietly push people deeper into debt without realizing it.

Licensed Insolvency Trustee Maureen Parent from Hoyes Michalos breaks down how the fear of missing out impacts our financial decisions, why comparison culture can lead to overspending, and the warning signs that your spending habits may be emotionally driven.

Whether it's vacations, weddings, tech upgrades, or everyday treat- yourself purchases, this conversation explores how small habits can snowball into bigger debt problems, and how to stop the cycle before it gets worse.

“Welcome to a new episode of Mystic Soundwaves. Today we dive into the Canadian independent music scene alongside Nicole Arrage, a singer-songwriter and musician who crafts her sonic language by blending diverse genres with deeply intimate storytelling.

From her roots in Gatineau to her move to Montréal to study music, Nicole’s journey reflects an artist who chose to follow her own voice, even when it meant stepping away from more traditional expectations.

In this episode, we explore her personal and artistic journey, her EP Unapologetically Me, and the themes of solitude, resilience, and identity that run through her music. We also look at how her cultural roots and artistic collaborations have shaped her sound.

This is more than an interview—it’s an exploration of a unique artistic universe, moving between jazz, soul, pop, and world influences, discovering a voice that is authentic and constantly evolving.”

Got another eclectic mix of genres for you. Italian prog rock, Mongolian jazz, Japanese synth pop, Malian folk singing, and the usual goods from the Anglosphere.

Image above is from the new Elvis concert film. I had a good time watching Elvis perform on the big screen in 4K.

Welcome to the very first episode of JAM with Zogho — where music, mindset, and meaning come together.

In this debut episode, MC Zogho introduces himself, the vision behind the show, and the deeper philosophy that drives it all: Ubuntu — “I am because we are.” This isn’t just a vibe; it’s a way of life that has shaped his journey toward inner peace, purpose, and creative expression.

We explore how Afrobeats and Afrofusion go beyond sound — acting as powerful cultural bridges that connect people, uplift spirits, and inspire unity across the world. From personal stories to thought-provoking insights, this episode sets the tone for a space where music meets mindfulness and entertainment meets elevation.

If you’ve ever wondered how inner peace connects to global harmony — this is where the conversation begins.

Tap in. Feel the rhythm. Find your peace.

A roundtable on women in science communication - and some of the often unspoken barriers in this space. Featuring Dr Jen Gunter, Dr Michelle Wong and Emily Graslie. There's a lot here, I think the points raised in the discussion are really important for everyone to be aware of.

The people running technology companies love to make wild predictions about the future. They’ve told us that artificial intelligence will cure cancer, eliminate drudgery and solve climate change. But those utopian visions have yet to materialize. Where are the revolutionary moonshots we’ve been promised?

Aza Raskin may well have one. Raskin is the president of the Center for Humane Technology and the co-founder of the Earth Species Project, a non-profit using machine learning to decode animal communication.

Raskin and his colleagues are envisioning a world where birds can vote and dolphins get to represent themselves in court. That might sound hard to believe – but Raskin says they’re not far from making it a reality.

So I wanted to ask him: what happens to our world – and to us – when animals have the right to speak?
