On this heartfelt Friday edition, Kelly MacDonald and Brock Richardson welcome back the long-awaited Artist Corner segment. Multidisciplinary artist Rachel Harding shares the story behind “Sunrise Willow,” a lush, chill track first created to ease flight anxiety and now brought to life through her practicum at the National Access Arts Centre (NAC). Rachel opens up about self-expression, creativity, and the community that’s helped her find her voice.

Later, entertainment contributor Michael Fair explores Big Finish’s new adaptation of V, the 1980s sci-fi series, now updated for modern times and relocated to the UK. With stellar performances and immersive sound design, the audio drama brings new urgency and political relevance to its themes of resistance and control.

The episode also features touching tributes from longtime contributors like Mark Rankin and Melanie Taddeo, celebrating the community and growth fostered through Kelly and Company over the years — from broadcasting students to professional hosts.
