Radio Free Kaslo — with host RG Morse

Lots of summer music today, from Yo Yo Mah to Sabrina Carpenter ; from Cara Luft to RFK host Randy Morse . Plus a complete rundown of the upcoming (July 30 — August 2) Kaslo Block Party. Enjoy!

On today's show, Waterproof Tonight , the world's silliest late-night TV talkshow (the pilot was filmed in Kaslo) is set for a revival. Work is underway to produce a series based on Link Lafleur , Max Morgenstein , and their wacky attempt to put tiny Waterproof, British Columbia on the map — and perhaps save Canada in the process! On Saturday, July 4 in Houston, Canada takes on heavily f...

On today's show, Shakespeare rolls in to Kaslo with an extended run at the venerable Langham Theatre of one of the Bard's great comedies, As You Like It . Then host Randy Morse eavesdrops on the laughter and non-stop reminiscing among five women who have been friends since their school days in Kansas — four of whom travelled thousands of kilometres to visit their Kaslo-based pal, Janet M...

If you are a soccer fan; if you love your country; if you plan on watching Canada's first match in the 2026 World Cup against Bosnia-Herzegovina, you'll definitely want to listen to today's show!

Juno award winning singer-songwriter-musician Cara Luft is that rare artist steeped in folk and traditional roots music almost from birth, yet willing to alter the fabric, stretch the boundaries and fearlessly bend genres and styles.  A founding member of Canadian folk super-group The Wailin' Jennys and the brainchild behind Winnipeg's acclaimed powerhouse duo The Small Glories, Cara des...

As thunderstorms keep rolling through our region, accompanied by flood warnings and evacuations, the theme of today's show is.... rain.  (With a final tip of the RFK hat to newlyweds Katie & Doug , who had the great good taste to decide to get married today at Fletcher's Falls)!

Today's show includes conversations with young & old participants in Kaslo's venerable May Days parade, and a stroll along a sketchy stretch of the Kaslo River that could become our only access to lovely South Beach, if a developer has his way.

On today's show, host Randy Morse wanders around Kaslo (and down to the beach), checking out buskers on Front Street, the uber-cool new Mexican restaurant, Taqueria Tiburon , and a lovely trio of side-by-side shops selling fresh-cut flowers, wares by local & regional craftspeople, artists and artisans, plus fabulous vintage clothing ( Jewel + Joy , and Honeybucket Vintage ). He then stumb...

On today's show, host Randy Morse visits Kaslo's very own (possibly superior) version of Muscle Shoals — Propel Studios — and chats with musician and founder Marty Lynch , and audio engineer Hunter Stanway . The hills — or in this case, the mountains — are alive with the sound of music!

British Columbia's West Kootenay region is rife with musical talent. Intriguing musicians, many of them not well known, are seemingly everywhere.  Allie Kane is one of them. And now, thanks to a grant from Columbia Basin Trust , and the support of the Langham Cultural Society and Propel Recording Studios , Allie and her band, Allie Kane & the Local Legends, have hit the studio at Propel....

" It is with books as it is with libraries: a few good ones make all the difference ."           — Voltaire There aren't a lot of villages with a population of barely 1,000 that can boast of its own public library. Let alone a really good one. Kaslo is an exception. On today's show, host Randy Morse visits Kaslo's 21st century information hub (situated in a decidedly 19th...

Live long enough and... you'll become, well, old. You know. An elder. A senior. Turns out roughly a third of us who live in Kaslo and the North Kootenay Lake region fall into that category.  It's a time of life that brings with it both blessings and curses, opportunities and challenges.  With that in mind, a truly useful-sounding expo is happening on Saturday, April 25, 2026, from 10 AM...

On Saturday, April 11 (2PM at Castlegar's Brilliant Cultural Centre), five outstanding musical acts will take to the stage.

As the world continues to spiral down into anger, distrust, and war, there are some voices among us who speak out against the madness. Who remind us there is another way of being, a path lined with kindness, empathy, and love.  Voices like Frantisek Strouhal and Chantal Robert, who gently, thoughtfully suggest that in times like these, we must find ways to remind ourselves of how much we have in c...

A conversation with Cottonwood Singers conductor Noemi Kiss, and Family Of Friends Doukobor Choir conductor Jasmine Popoff.

Lennart Lovecraft Larsson was a dog. He had long, very white fur with large black eye patches and long, lynx-like ears with tufts of hair at the ends. One eye was brown, the other blue. He was the size of a Labrador retriever, loved howling at passing ambulances, and was hypoallergenic. He enjoyed peeing on fire hydrants, chasing cats, and barking at strangers. He was smart, mischievous, and loyal...

What do you do when you're a radio host and the power suddenly goes out? I was faced with this dilemma yesterday. So I decided to grab a hand-held recorder, leave the studio, wander down to the beach, then stroll back via Kaslo's Front Street and simply describe what I was seeing. If you've never been to our fair village, this is a nice introduction to one of — if not the — lovelies...

On today's show, host Randy Morse chats with members of Oh Pray Tell — Shayna Jones , Sally Titasey , and Betty Supple , mothers all — a British Columbia-based band that has just released its first EP — the self-titled Oh Pray Tell — a beautifully crafted, haunting 4-song compilation. Featuring gorgeous three-part harmonies woven with banjo, stomp-clap-Cajon rhythms, and spoken word, rooted i...

Unlike the Prairies and much of Eastern Canada, the winter of 2026 has — at least so far — been relatively mild down here by the shores of fjord-like Kootenay Lake. Ah, but that doesn't keep the hardy, outdoor-loving denizens of the tiny mountain village of Kaslo from flocking to Winter in the Forest, held every Family Day (in February, for those of you unfamiliar with the holiday), at the Ka...

Our village punches way above its weight class when it comes to smart, creative — and dogged — citizens, willing to go the extra mile in contributing to Kaslo's well-being. With that in mind, here's an intriguing  conversation with tech whiz and seniors healthcare advocate,  Tyler Dobie .

On today's show, a conversation with Kaslo & Area Chamber of Commerce Administration Manager, Alana Jenkins , along with Chamber member, Kaslo Building Supply's Jeff Davie . We chat about what they love about Kaslo, its virtues, its challenges — and a bit of business! With music provided by Shred Kelly and Bachman Turner Overdrive .

A musical tribute to my dear friend, Lynn van Deursen, on the occasion of her 65th birthday. With apologies to Lennon & McCartney!

Today's show is dedicated to the people of Minneapolis. Featuring a new song, The Streets of Minneapolis , by Bruce Springsteen , and classics by two towering Minnesota musical geniuses, Prince and Bob Dylan . 

Anne Malik is a prairie transplant who racked up corporate experience in Toronto before fleeing back West. She loves to garden, and always finds time to engage with local civic issues. Kaslo’s sewer system has been under her eagle eye for years. Anne's husband, Vladimir Malik (aka Laddie), hails from the former Czechoslovakia. He’s a jack of all trades who has worn many hats, and at one time...
