Joint Women's Recruting Army Campaign at 4:30 am and 5:30 pm
During World War II, a number of radio programs, in addition to films were produced to promote the war effort. These are some of the more rarely heard ones. Produced in Canada, Joint Women's Recruiting were a series of shows to encourage women to join the effort instead of staying home. The 5 star minute programs, were similar in nature, only incorporating Stars from Hollywood, talking to the Canadian Radio Audience, in October 1943. Hosted primarily by a Canadian who would be a future Hollywood star himself, Lorne Greene. The material is sourced from the original 16 inch transcription discs, and is likely not heard anywhere else but TCAN.

Cheeze Pleeze with Snarfdude and Daffodil at 6 pm
Simple put, It's "The wacky warped and weird every week" with hosts Snarfdude and Daffodil. Scouring the garage sales, the flea markets and the thrift stores for the music that should have been long forgotten, Snarf and Daffy driving around in a beat up van driving across North America looking for cheezy music. Stuff so bad, it's good, from polka, terrible cover songs to celebrities who should have never even throught of singing.
