Season three of The Lowdown rolled on with the annual NHL preview. On tonight’s show, Steve and Jackie give campus radio’s most thorough preview of the 2009-2010 NHL season.

There’s a more in-depth look at division winners, including a look at if the President’s Trophy is a real trophy worth winning. They cap off the show by predicting the year-end award winners and add in a few more questions to their game of Over/Under. It’s the biggest Lowdown Extra ever at 1 hour and 9 minutes. It’s also CHRW’s longest ever podcast by three minutes over the three-year-old record set by Steve with Jackie making his first CHRW appearance as an interview guest.

Lowdown Radio Classic: November 27, 2007

It’s another classic Lowdown radio episode. This interview probably put us on the map as the best interviewing show on CHRW. On this vintage episode, Steve talks to former Western Mustangs defenseman Greg DeFelice who tells some great stories of his days with Mustangs hockey in the 80s and playing with Wayne Gretzky. First, though, the guys discuss the infamous 2007 salmonella outbreak at Western. In entertainment, Steve and Jackie debate the merits of a love song by a guy that has a really high-pitched voice compared to Barry White. Jackie reviews the Disney movie Enchanted starring Amy Adams. After the commercial, Steve and Jackie debate the merits of a proposed ban on selling cigarettes on the UWO campus. (In case you were interested, the student union banned the sale of cigarettes based on 55% voting in favour from a 20% voter turnout.) And we wrap up the show with their first time playing Oddsmakers.

Lowdown Radio Classic: September 16, 2008

With the Season Three premiere of The Lowdown coming up next week, we thought it would be a good time to look back at last season’s premiere. On this vintage episode, Steve and Jackie discuss the latest news from the world of sports and talk about a Muslim man with 86 wives. In the entertainment news, the guys look at McFly’s and Metallica’s new singles and look at some of the TV premieres that were upcoming. The big feature interview was a look at political spin with award-winning author and politics journalist Judah Freed. Steve closed the show by touring buildings on the UWO campus that frosh weren’t likely to go to including the Law Building, the D.B. Wheldon Library, the Ivey Business School, and the Thompson Engineering Building. He even managed to get a sneak peak at what was then the under construction Campus Recreation Centre. Needless to say, that part didn’t end well. Despite that, this is an all-time Lowdown classic.

Mind you, I wish I was still in London because it’s shaping up to be a good year at T.D. Waterhouse Stadium. Continue reading →
