About this listen

 CFRC Takeovers is a special CFRC 101.9 FM podcast series that spotlights the voices, stories, and sounds of Queen’s University student groups and Kingston community organizations. Each episode hands the mic to a different group, giving them a full hour to share what they do, the impact they’re making, upcoming events, the ways they contribute to campus and community life - and how YOU can get involved. Alongside their stories, guests curate their own playlist of upbeat, meaningful, or just plain fun music that reflects their team’s personality. CFRC Takeovers highlight the diverse organizations that help shape Kingston and Queen’s. This project is made possible through the generous support of the Community Radio Fund of Canada's Radiometres Program.© 2025 CFRC Podcast Network Art Social Sciences
