ZM
by BTR
ZM are Zoë and Milky! Think of it as your on-line neighbourhood café - where you listen in on conversations covering what's current, cool, comedic and cringey in Canada's Capital and beyond! We do this podcast for anyone who finds the daily news cycle too heavy and wants a reminder that there is still some silliness, fun and laughter in the world. Milky is a syndicated radio host heard on numerous stations across North America. Zoë is a very quick-witted radio veteran now working in real estate. On ZM, Milky brings a curated list of his best information from his daily shows, while Zoë offers a fresh interpretation of them, inevitably, with a twisted take that will have you howling! Listen for our Duh Of The Day, Memes We've Seen, News Nuggets, Celebrity Stuff and, This Or That And Why! We keep it light, we keep it fun, and we hope you love having us on in the car, during your walk or while getting ready to head out for a night
