Tonight at 7 PM MT on @ckuaradio's Mixtape meet Alex Hoffman-Ellis @Hoffingtonpost. Wait...do you mean the @EdmontonEsks linebacker? Yup. Also world traveler. Jewelry maker. Passionate about all things ocean. And food. And music. Also...he writes some fine poetry.

Is there a place where professional football and poetry meet? Hmmm...maybe? No maybes, dear listeners. Tune in Wed at 7 PM MT for @ckuaradio's Mixtape and meet Alex Hoffman-Ellis @AHoffingtonPost - lover of oceans and music, poet, and @EdmontonEsks linebacker. Intrigued? Oh yeah!

We've got 58:00 of fabulous coming at ya tonight at 7PM MT as we revisit ACTOR! BLUESMAN! STORYTELLER! @raoulbhaneja's Mixtape. From an ON country barn dance to the recordings of the 50s. Oh! also Bela Lugosi. Huh!?! Tune in at 7PM MT @ckuaradio.

ICYMI, we're all about second chances this evening on @ckuaradio. Tonight at 7PM MT tune in for an encore edition of @HawksleyWorkman's Mixtape with some of his favourites: @colleenbrownmus @andyshauf @BruceCockburn @OnlyAnExpert and more musical greats & Hawksley-ish stories.

So much to see and do @ckuaradio's Essential Albums of 2017! My list is here: bit.ly/2AR27kZ @JebLoyNichols, @AlexCuba, @rubimdetoledo, @souljazzorch, @thisisthekit #somuchmusic

Some of the greats - both well-known and lesser-known. Songwriters and storytellers, all reflecting the true spirit of folk music. Coming up in up 30 minutes, @mariadunnmusic brings us her Mixtape. @ckuaradio 7PM MT.

Exploring the world of folk music, rogue folk, traditional singing, and inspirational songwriters. Songs that tell the extraordinary stories of ordinary people. All of these things and more tonight at 7PM MT. It's @ckuaradio's Mixtape with @mariadunnmusic.

Oooh boy...it's another great @ckuaradio House Blend for your viewing and listening pleasure bit.ly/2AP0KQv. My pick for this week? The stunning new single from Charlotte Day Wilson @cdaydreamz

Longtime Alberta favourite, and much-loved singer and songwriter well beyond our borders, @mariadunnmusic spends an hour with us tomorrow evening. Tune in Wednesday evening at 7 PM MT for @ckuaradio's Mixtape. #getyourfolkon

Wouldn't you love to watch a documentary that explores the music of massively talented guitarist @BillFrisell? Me too! All I can offer right now is the trailer for "Bill Frisell, A Portrait": bit.ly/2uQjHzp

"I wanted to make weird outsider music and whatever comes my way, comes my way." Tonight at 7PM MT, @ckuaradio's Mixtape spends the hour with @coldspecks. One of her favourite songs ever? Bobby 'Blue' Bland's "I'll Take Care Of You". Also, Cold Specks sings with @MassiveAttackUK.

Sure, Mixtape playlists are always pretty crazy and interesting. But tomorrow evening on @coldspecks's Mixtape it's not only her eclectic taste in music but what we learn about the woman herself along the way. Tune in Wed at 7 PM MT @ckuaradio for another edition of Mixtape.

So the place where Blues and Hockey meet isn’t necessarily pretty but it is good fun! Go #3 ! @GrantStovel @ckuaradio #Blueshockeychallenge

You think you're enthusiastic about the music you love? HA! In 30 minutes, @mylesdavid bumps it up a notch on @ckuaradio's Mixtape. He brings Merle. And Aretha. And Bob. And Cannonball. Nat and Dolly, too. Gonna be fun! 7 PM MT - David Myles' Mixtape.

Who is responsible for the fact that the music of @mylesdavid is so hard to categorize? Well, ultimately, David himself (of course) but tune in tonight @ckuaradio's Mixtape for just a few of his big influences. Soul. Jazz. Country. Reggae. Bluegrass. Phew! 7 PM MT #reallove

Remember the quirky, mysterious @lurie_john album "The Legendary Marvin Pontiac"? Here's @amandapetrusich in the @NewYorker with news of a follow-up: bit.ly/2BuK1lu

Tomorrow (Wed) evening at 7 MT, @mylesdavid brings his 10-song playlist and a crop of great stories to @ckuaradio's Mixtape. The more we talked, the more excited he got - I think this guy realllyyyy likes his music! And there's even a tune he and his Dad agree on!

Coming up in 30 minutes, @anaismitchell spends an hour spinning some of her favourite songs: @gillianwelch @boniver @paulbradysongs @pattygriffin @anidifranco + Joni! And Leonard! Every song a gem. And of course there are the stories... Mixtape 7PM MT @ckuaradio.

From @samamidon covering R. Kelly to Swedish pop to get you through a memorably bad New Year's Eve. Two Canadian icons and a vaudeville star turned early TV star also make appearances. Must be @ckuaradio's Mixtape! This week with very special guest @anaismitchell.

I don't know about you but I'm not ready to stop celebrating @ckuaradio's 90th Birthday!! Sadly, the cupcakes are long gone but there's always the music. Tonight on How I Hear It, it's all (well almost all) about loving your radio. Coming up in 10 minutes!
