This week we welcome Jesse McDougall, producer of Tracks From Abroad, a student oriented program which focused on foreign students who attended U of Toronto and what they brought to Canada with them.

Jesse was a CIUT volunteer already, having worked a pre-pandemic funding drive. He then put together a proposal for Tracks from Abroad that we couldn't say no to. Although the show ran its course, Jesse tells us how it came about, what it achieved and little known secrets about the music foreign students brought with them to Canada.

This week we welcome a relatively new programmer at CIUT - Femi, host of Afro Alte show heard Sunday mornings at 6 a.m. He began his radio experience volunteering at a campus radio station in his native Lagos, Nigeria around 2010. He came to Canada five years ago to attend the U of T and got involved with CIUT. At first he was a board teck working with Cheri DiNovo on her excellent program The Radical Reverend. But I don't want to say any more here because Femi's show, which is gaining popularity, explains it best, this week in conversation with Peter Stamp and myself, Steve Fruitman.

David Dacks was only 17 when he heard about this brand new - not yet even on the air - radio station at the U of T and decided to check it out. Going FM meant the need for dozens of new recruits to volunteer at the station and within a few weeks, David was hosting his own show. 25 years later the momentum led him the The Music Gallery where he became Artistic Director and is now an Executive Director. Hear him tell his storyl
