As some regular followers of my posts know, I often slap together a podcast here in Vancouver for CITR-FM consisting of various audio bric-a-brac. The station also does an annual "show swap" in which programmer's take over another programmer's show, giving their interpretation of its usual theme. Initially I was hoping to guest host the station's sex advice program, with many LaWanda Page and Christian Sex Education records in tow. That plan was nixed almost immediately due to my reputation I guess, and I ended up taking over the country and western show. It turned out pretty good, I think, and it just might turn listeners on anyway. Check the C&W mixed tape out here. Playlist is after the jump.

Curious about yr reputation that prevented you from hosting the sex show..! I imagine that woulda been so good. I think Vancouver needs an appreciation lesson on subversion.
