The Radio Sessions are extended conversations of interviews heard on my Saturday morning radio show on Shoreline Classics FM.There's so much happening right now and a lot of it is in support of one of my favourite causes, the AMGH Foundation's Magnetic Moments campaign to bring MRI technology to the Goderich Hospital, a cause I think we all agree is an important one.  As serious as the acquisition of that technology is, we are finding a lot of really fun ways to raise the money needed to make it happen. One of those ways is an event called Rock The Range and my friends Dan McLaughlin and Justin Reid are here to talk about that.Also in this episode, we will chat with Gurpreet Singh about the Vaisakhi Celebration coming up soon, a wonderful afternoon of Indian food, dancing and more ... and again, in support of Magnetic Moments.And also on the show today, a couple of old friends, Nancy Ross and Linda Street to chat about the Kincardine Brass Band & MacKay Choristers big Spring concert, Walking on Sunshine!

Next year in 2027, Goderich will celebrate its bi-centennial. In preparation, we’re happy and proud to present The Goderich Chronicles, a limited series on the history of the town and the stories of a few long time residents.  In this first episode we go back to the beginning, 1827, with friend and local historian David Yates, who will help us sort through some folklore, to separate fact from fiction. We’ll learn about our founding fathers, the 12 apostles, duels on the river flats, brothels, cowards & poltroons, heroes, catastrophic weather events, landmarks and a ton of other things that shaped who we are now. 

Tom Fincher is here today, to chat about a store that’s been in many of our lives for most or all of our lives! For 70 years, Fincher’s has stood near the corner of Courthouse Square and Colborne St. Started by Tom’s dad Dennis and continued on by Tom we are going to talk about the decision to retire, what it’s meant to him to have that business in town all these years and what he thinks his dad might think about all that has happened and the upcoming retirement.We’ll chat about some of Tom & Dawn’s proudest moments and challenges through the years and we’ll share a little about the new owners and the new name of the business And we will wrap with what’s next for Tom and Dawn as they settle into retired life and Tom’s heartfelt message to you.   

I’ve known this wonderful human for a very long time. Maybe more accurately I've known her parents for a very long time and more known of her and her siblings shenanigans as peers of my own kids.I’ve watched her grow to follow in her mom’s step dancing shoes, become an accomplished musician, a poet, a songwriter, a performer with Drayton Entertainment, a business owner with her sister that offers performing arts training for youth and a producer/director of shows for those same youth. She performs regularly with her family "The Ballaghs" and with her siblings as “The Crew.” And she's a solo artist with two projects to her credit. We'll hear a little music from her current release in this episode.So that’s a lot of what she does, but who is the real Paige Ballagh? I hope you have as much fun learning the answer to that question as I did.

Local Christmas Magic. When I wrote this up and autofill decided on the word "Magic" before I could type "Music", I couldn't help but think it was a better choice.Today is a Radio Sessions podcast with the extended versions of conversations heard on the Saturday morning show on Shoreline Classics. Our studio was full of friends including, Kim & Travis Teed and several members of the HuronSong Chorus (Deborah Bailey, Michele Hansen, Richard Madge, Craig Wark & Nisa Howe Lobb)You'll hear details on some upcoming Christmas shows, but you'll also hear a lot of passion from our guests today. Passion for the magic of community, belonging, singing and contributing to great causes.

And now for something completely different! In a bit of a departure from the last production of The Rocky Horror Show, and proving that Goderich Little Theatre has a little something for everyone, comes their latest offering, James and the Giant Peach!Joining us this time around to talk about the show is the director Keith King, and his daughter Valerie who also happens to be one of the players!

On the pod this episode, my friend Sarah Louise and one of her band mates Paul McInnis of The Maitland Hollar, a great local band that was in Nashville recently recording some music.We're going to get to know them to know a little and maybe we can talk them into sharing one of their newly recorded songs with us while they’re here. :)

I was lucky enough to be asked to co-mc an event recently with my friend Roz.  It was a United Way Perth-Huron workshop called Belonging Matters and it put a frame around some things I think I knew sub-consciously but hadn’t quite defined in my mind, mostly that belonging does indeed matter.Much of it was based on a book called “Bowling Alone” by Robert Putnam  about the collapse and revival of community and a movie based on the book called “Join or Die.”I'm joined in this episode by my friend Michelle Millar of the United Way to talk about the workshop and what’s next.

It feels like the talk of the town recently, The Goderich Little Theatre's production of The Rocky Horror Show hits the stage on October 22nd.In this episode, we’re going to get to know the Stage Manager, Nicole Griffin and the Director David Armour.We will talk about music that is about as infectiously fun as music gets , the history of the show, who it’s for and we’ll find out what a Stage Manager does and all the dozens of other moving parts of a production like this.

We’re featuring a couple of extended versions of interviews from my Saturday Morning radio show on Shoreline Classics this week.The Radio Sessions for September 20th highlight something I’m really looking forward to next Sunday (28th)  It’s Volkfest, happening for the first time around the Square in Goderich! Ryan Somers, the man behind it all since it’s inception is here with all the details.ANDThe Goderich Track Rebuild. If you’re a little older like me, you might remember a former teacher at GDCI by the name of Lynn Myers. He was the man behind the original track that is well over 40 yrs old now and in dire need of a rebuild. It’s an important thing I think for our community (Who knows what future Canadian Olympian might train on the track?) Doug Cruickshank is here to get us up to speed on all the fund raising efforts. 

This week from the Radio Sessions, a chat with Gael O’Shaunhessy about a big fundraiser at the Livery Theatre in support of Goderich Little Theatre.And Marianne Hogan gets us caught up on all the amazing things going on at the Kingsbridge Centre .*****The Radio Sessions are the extended conversations of interviews from The Phil Main Show, heard Saturday mornings between 7:-11: on Shoreline Classics.*****How to listen to Shoreline Classics: 99.7 in Goderich - 95.5 in Kincardine - 90.9 in Saugeen Shores. ALSO, Online at shorelineclassicsfm.com or on the iHeart radio app.

I think we’ve mentioned this before but last year, Milli aka Ally, took the County of Huron’s  "Starter Company Plus" program and in that process met a lot of budding entrepreneurs and made a few friends in the process. One of those people is  Brayden Lisiecki of Salt Mine Creamery … If you’ve checked out the Goderich BIA's Farmer’s Market this summer in you may have met Brayden and her partner Chase as they shared their home made ice cream with us. I know we've enjoyed it a few times.In this episode, we’ll get you the lowdown on how it started, where they’re at with it and as the days of summer dwindle, what we can look forward to!

"Ordinary Magic" is a youth theatre program at The Livery Theatre. In association with the Goderich Little Theatre, it's a place where our kids get the chance to participate in productions and workshops to develop confidence, creativity, and a love for the performing arts. And I believe, in the process, they learn a little something extra about life too.It’s an amazing initiative and opportunity for our kids and so we’re going to take some time to chat with David Armour and Jacqui Knap, two of the people who are instrumental in making all happen.

To some they’re just dogs but to many of us, they’re a whole lot more than that! They’re best friends, companions, part of the family and I think most of us, and especially our guest today, believe they deserve a little joy in life. Tiffany Jones provides all that and more at "Forest Tails", a doggy adventure camp set in an enchanted private forest.Tiffany was a guest on my Saturday morning radio show on Shoreline Classics. Here is our extended conversation.

The Radio Sessions are extended versions of interviews and conversations heard on The Phil Main Show, Saturday mornings on Shoreline Classics FM. For programming purposes, we try to keep the conversations on air to a length that allows room for lots of great music and also so we can cover more topics and hear more from the community.This week: The extended version of a chat I had with Shannon McGavin about the new Well Community Collective, (An Integrated Youth Wellness Hub that has or will have several locations in the area including Kincardine & Goderich)Also, Clare Day (The Den) & Cindy Smale (West St. Willies Eatery) remind us that Downtown Goderich is OPEN!And, Donelda Schwartzentruber (and this is a time sensitive chat with the event happening now tomorrow - Sunday, Aug 3rd) on a fundraiser at Clinton Raceway for the AMGH Hospital Foundation.

He's one of the great producers of our time, maybe of all time. Daniel Lanois has produced records for artists like: Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Peter Gabriel, U2, Robbie Robertson, Emmylou Harris, Willie Nelson and so many others. It was a real blessing to have a few minutes to chat with this Canadian born and raised musician, singer/songwriter and producer who has sculpted so much of the soundtrack of our lives.He is embarking on a small venue tour of Ontario in August and will be stopping in at The Livery Theatre in Goderich on Aug. 19th. At last check only a few tickets remain. Check availability at the livery.ca or at daniellanois.com

This was one of our favourite experiences with the podcast, a live recording with platinum selling, singer/songwriter from Denmark, Tim Schou.The show was recorded by our good friend and engineer extraordinaire, Brendan Couture as part of the Goderich BIA Concert Series on June 5th, 2025 and features a lot of wonderful live music and fan interaction with one of our new favourite artists. Thanks B & Tim for making this happen. It was a remarkable experience that we're so glad we were able to have.

It was our very first podcast back in March of 2023 but a few things have changed so we thought maybe the time was right to do an update on one of our all time favourite places.Since the early 1800’s, it has dispensed joy to all who've passed through its doors.  Though the bakery has been around now for well over two centuries it was in 1942 that Mel Culbert took it over, soon passing it on to his son Berry and then eventually to Darin who ran it until 2022, when our guest today took ownership.We’re going to learn more about Madeleine Lambert and her families history in Goderich, her long standing love of the bakery, the challenging process of taking over such an iconic and well loved business and her dreams for the future of Culbert’s Bakery!

This episode of the Radio Sessions features extended conversations from the Shoreline Classics Saturday morning radio programs on July 21st and 28th.Part 1: My friends from the Huron County Historic Gaol, Sinead Cox and Benjamin Baker dropped by to talk about the history of this amazing local treasure and shared details of a big celebration coming our way on July 5th this year.Part 2 of this episode features a chat I had recently with Ivet Loder, the president of the newly formed Goderich Optimist Club. 

We love this time of year for a lot of reasons not the least of which is, it's THEATRE SEASON! In this episode, we get to catch up with one of our favourite people, the Artistic Director of the Blyth Festival Theatre, Gil Garratt. Gil gives us a complete run down of all the shows and all that's happening this season!

This week on the Radio Sessions, a discussion that includes some info on a food drive that may be over by the time you're listening but it also includes information that sadly, will not be over any time soon, and that's information on the local food bank, the need and how you can help. Kendall Strome joins us for that. And because the Kinsmen and Kinettes are helping with that, we thought we'd have them join in to chat about their respective clubs and some of the other things they do, not the least of which are The Festival of Arts and Crafts and Kinsmen Summerfest, both happening in early July this year. We get all the details with Alex Irvin and Janet Wunnick.

The Extended Interviews from Shoreline Classics Saturday Morning for June 7th, 2025.Alex Jebson, Chair of Huron County Pride was in for a chat and some of what we talked about is specific to today’s (June 7th) Pride Festival in Goderich but we also talked about a lot of things that are important beyond today and beyond PRIDE Month so I hope you’ll have a listen.And also in on the show today, Trevor Bazinet … Mayor, Town of Goderich who came in to bring us up to speed on the dig happening downtown and the importance of supporting local, what to expect over the coming months and as sometimes happens when Trevor and I start to chat we bunny trailed off onto a few other things you might be interested in.

This week on my radio show we talked with my friend Lynn Beatty of the Goderich BIA … edited of course to fit a radio program that’s kind of like a variety show with lots of music, local info and a few dad jokes.For those that want to go a little deeper, here is the extended and unedited conversation with Lynn.The BIA is such an important part of our community and they are up to a LOT in the coming months … lets dig in 

First a picture, then a letter followed by more letters, then a book, then a play and now a feature documentary!Onion Skins & Peach Fuzz, co-authored by one of our guests today, Bonnie Sitter, is the amazing story of the Ontario Farmerettes!We are so excited to bring this to you! It's a tale built on too many serendipitous moments to mention including the one that led Bonnie to meet Colin Field, a banker turned film maker.Onion Skins & Peach Fuzz … We Lend a Hand … and The Ontario Farmerettes … It all comes together in a beautiful story that will leave you wondering how you never heard about this before?!

It's something a little different today as we share with you the extended conversations from this morning's Saturday morning Shoreline Classics FM radio show, hosted by your's truly.For radio purposes I like to shorten the conversations in order to get more in and to make room for lots of great music but for those who may want to go a little deeper, here are the longer chats from today's show:John Smallwood on the Menesetung Bridge ProjectWarren & Eleanor Robinson on their new play "Saving Harmony" which opens on June 6th and Danish singer/songwriter/recording artist Tim Schou who is currently touring our area and in my humble opinion is not to be missed!

Last week we had a chat with Cara Loft about the Livery Theatre and Nina Reynolds, director of the new production , “The Play That Goes Wrong,” opening on June 5th. If you haven’t heard that episode, may I suggest you listen to it before this one, it will give you some background on this week’s episode. Joining us today are Ian Rutherford, Bruce Williamson, mother/son combo Isaac and Leigh Anne Van Aaken, all actors in the show, and the set designer/builder Paul Cook.

One of the things near the top of my "Reasons to Retire" list last Fall was freeing up some time to be more involved with Goderich Little Theatre.People in the arts are my people: Weird, wonderful, creative, sometimes insecure, sometimes so full of themselves they need to be taken down a notch but always the people that at least for me, make life worth living.I’m full of happy adrenaline today to be chatting with two of those people! We set out to promote the latest show for Goderich Little theatre and ended up with so much material we decided to split it into two parts. So this week, we will chat with the director of the show, my long time friend, Nina Reynolds and the Manager of the Livery Theatre, Cara Loft.We’ll talk about GLT, a bit about the show, and then we will get to know a few of the actors in the play on next week’s episode.

This week on the podcast, a chat with an old friend and a new friend about a festival that started in Kincardine back in 1999. As we get set to celebrate 26 years this year, Tony Doherty and Kristine McMahon are here to chat about the Kincardine Scottish Festival & Highland Games and their mandate to preserve, enhance, and celebrate Kincardine’s Scottish roots!It's a weekend of great music, competitions and cultural workshops … Highland athletes and dancers, pipe bands and as always some incredible concerts!

It’s a bit of an update for you this week! We had my buddy Patrick Armstrong back in November of 2023 to chat about The Dave Mounsey Memorial Fund but they have some great things happening over the next few months including: The Run Around the Square in Goderich, Dancing with the Stars of 911 and 100k in a Day! Honestly, this organization is the epitome of so much that we’re trying to do with our podcast. It’s all about community doing good things FOR the community in the name of an incredible man.

The BIA Concert Series kicks off on Thursday, May 22nd this year and continues most Thursdays until it wraps up on September 18th. We’re going to get to know the guy who put it all together for us on the pod today. Brendan Couture is here with his daughter Maggie (a pretty decent performer in her own right) . We're going to chat about music, dreams, life in a small town AND we'll hear some music too :)

We're excited this week to welcome David Yates back to the studio for a quick chat about his new book, “Challenge & Change in Huron: The People and Events that Made Us, 1890-1919.”  which in my humble opinion is a must read for these precarious times we live in. Returning to a time when Canadians were undergoing great technical change, threats of war and challenges to our sovereignty, David tells us a few quick stories from the book and shares details on the book launch coming soon to the Huron County Museum.

This week, a 5 minute interview for my Saturday morning Shoreline Classics radio show, turned into a 1/2 hr podcast.I’d seen a whole bunch a stuff on social media about things the Goderich Kinette’s were involved with and thought having someone over to the studio to chat about a few of those things would be a good idea.Enter, Patti Lamb, who I discovered grew up down the street from me in Goderich.We did finally get around to talking about Kinette stuff and there are some really great community things happening this Spring/Summer but we also wandered down memory lane a little, talking about where we went to school, favourite teachers a few past times and the things that led Patti to want to join a service club like the Kinettes. We talked Kinette history and Patti revealed the staggering amount of money they’ve raised across the country to help local communities.We also had some fun chatting about the Big Easter Egg Hunt that’s coming up, the 50/50 Mega Draw, the Garage Sale and one of my all time favourite Goderich events, The Festival Arts & Crafts which is now brought to us by the Goderich Kinette Club.
