Quibi is a subscription-based streaming platform designed to deliver short-form scripted and unscripted content to your cell phone. The name is a mash-up of the words “quick” and “bites,” a nod to the fact that episodes of Quibi shows will run roughly seven to ten minutes in length.
Meg Whitman is the CEO of Quibi. Prior to Quibi, she served as CEO of Hewlett Packard Enterprise and President/CEO for the Hewlett-Packard Company.
Also senior executive at Disney. Ran for Governor of California. A key part of Mitt Romney’s Presidential bids of 2008 and 2012!
Quibi could be the future of entertainment. We’ll see.
RHYS PENDER’S DRINK LOCAL SERIES & UNCORKED IN PARKSVILLE
April is BC Wine Month!
Rhys Pender, Master of Wine, Wine Plus Education and co-founder of Little Farm Winery in the Similkameen Valley decided to celebrate the wines of BC by starting an on line video series called Rhys Pender MW-Drink Local. Found at IGTV at Instagram. One feature a day for the whole month.
Rhys Pender Little Farm
Basically he sets up a camera in his kitchen and talks to wine fans about “everything”
Sperling Foch, Haywire Rose, Figaro, Little Farm Riesling, aging of BC wines, Niche Pinot Noir, wine regions and sub GI’s, Fort Berens, Tantalus Chardonnay, all The Benches, the price of BC wine, Culmina Rose, Joie Gamay, and he also finds time to pick up his Ukulele and sing a song..one called drinking and cooking.
I asked Rhys for permission to take the audio from his videos and make a special out of it.
And that’s what starts this week’s TRR.
These are the first dozen shows but Rhys is still doing a show every day..which means there’s more than a dozen more to go.
He usually gets around to posting them after dinner..around 7PM

The Ukulele moments are the highlight of the year and my Life.

Hello all:
We started April by showcasing the wine events that would have happened in early 2020 except for the fact that the Earth was fighting a pandemic.
First was event was –
Locals Only. Vancouver Islands best showcase of distillers, winemakers, brewers and cider makers.
Then Okanagan Falls & Skaha Lake Wine Assn pour in Vancouver. They were shut down. So we went back to 2019 and talked to the very same wineries. When people could shake hands and stand next to one another.
This week its Top Drop Vancouver/Victoria.
Top Drop is simply one of the best small wine festivals anywhere.
They ask of applicants to be sustainable, honour the fruit, don’t mess with the winemaking and be true to the land.
Unsworth Cowichan Valley
It’s become an astounding collection of “must taste” wineries.
We go back to years 4 and 5 to relive the interviews.
To salute BC Wine Month, we have collected only interviews with BC wineries.
Naramata beauty
Our guests are:
Mescal Master in Oaxaca
swirl and untapped in Parksville
Unsworth. The Hatch. Orofino. Row Fourteen Restaurant at Klipper’s.
Road 13 Winery
Ned Bell – back on The Bench
catching up with Ann Sperling
As much as Canada loves Roy Forbes’ songs I think it’s his voice that goes straight through your heart.
No fooling around. This voice is memorable. There’s only one like it.
The high lonesome sound of Canada.
He’s been at it for almost 50 years.
Sunday he celebrates his 14th year of hosting Roy’s Record Room on CKUA Radio, province-wide in Alberta. Name me another show that plays
Vinyl, 45’s and 78’s. Sexy slick tracks from the 20’s through to the 50’s.
A tower of those 78’s fell on top of Roy in his studio and his retina was so damaged he lost his sight. Roy has driven himself to just carry on.
Roy’s Room IS the history of modern music. It’s how we got to where we are.
Roy has also just released his 11th album Edge of Blue. It’s a soul album by a skinny white kid.
It’s very good…
Here’s the complete interview with tracks…
Let’s Rock with Roy
YOU SAY YES
I SAY NO….
The first 6 words of a classic Lennon/McCartney composition called Hello Goodbye.
The NEXT Saturday 5PM #SingforSpring Song.
Province-wide, we sing a “Thank You” to all the health care workers, first responders, drivers, shopkeepers, essential services and more.
Step outside (sunny -2) open a window, step out onto the balcony, hit the front or back porch..roll down the car window. If you can turn on the phone video. Sing for all those heroes out there and post your video to
#singforspring. On Instagram or Facebook
Thank you ALL

Our guest this week is one of our own..Rockin’ Roy Forbes. Host of Roy’s Record Room.
He’s celebrating the 14th year of “The Room” on CKUA and he’s just launched his latest and greatest album Edge of Blue. (The complete interview can be found at www.mulliganstew.ca on Our Podcast)
NOTE: This show was recorded on Tuesday because of the short week. I was more than halfway through the show when I discovered that John Prine had died.
I decided to just keep on going and let the Stew play out in real-time.
If it sounds like I got a tad choked up at times…I did. Like many, John and I shared a lot of years, a lot of songs together.
I decided to play a farewell song to John..and the natural choice was the last track on The Tree of Forgiveness. When I get to Heaven is the song.
Some of the artists we’ve surrounded John with are
A new song from Mavis
Two from Colin James
Lyle Lovett
Two artists we lost this week. Bill Withers and a long time friend..who I loved dearly
Barry Allen
Barry Allen.
Roxy Music-Supertramp-John Hiatt-Patti Smith-Linda Ronstadt and The Stew ends with over 12 minutes of the classic Boz Scaggs track Loan me A Dime. With the Muscle Shoals stars and Duane Allman on guitar.
Bill Withers
The playlist is below…
Please remember
@singforspring
You are not alone
CKUA Spring Fundraiser is launched…
Be Safe
Be Kind
Thanks

Nobody sounds like The Wood Brothers.
The Wood Brothers are blessed by dedicated fans who love their singular style that fuses gospel, blues, jazz, folk, country, and rock.
The band consists of Oliver Wood on guitar, younger brother Chris Wood on bass, and multi-instrumentalist Jano Rix, who brings percussion to the band with his guitar, drums, keyboards…
Jano Rix..plays a guitar that’s modified to also be a percussive element.
The harmonies are sublime..the songwriting solid.
I love this band and these guys.
One of the keys is Chris Wood who brings jazz chops from his years with Medeski, Martin, and Wood.
What a band…
Best of all, they’re honest. No grandstanding..just outstanding music.
The boys talk about their time with Levon Helm, Drummer& Vocalist for The Band.
The Bands influence on their music.
This interview took place backstage at The Imperial Room, Vancouver BC.
March 28, 2017
The first song Saturday is perhaps the most important one.
I decided to start all four shows in April with a Beatles Song, so we could ALL sing to and for the first responders, health care heroes and store staff who are risking their health to feed us and make sure we have the medicines we need.
The STEW starts with All you need is Love.
Throw open a window or step outside on your balcony, porch, deck or roll down the car window and sing the song.
Please shoot a short video of you or the people around you and post it to either Instagram Stories or Facebook. Most important Hashtag #SingforSpring
Let’s make some noise for those who are putting their lives on the line.
Next Week it’s Hello Goodbye
April 18 its Hey Jude
April 25 – the Beatle song is whatever you guys say it is.
My thinking on these two hours was to keep the singing going..to there’s some
Ben E King
Stones
Tom Petty.
They All follow The Beatles.
Then it’s handpicked music for a Saturday Night
Mercy Now – Mike Ferris
Buckle Up – New Pearl Jam
Sooner or Later – Eliza Gilkison

(Over a dozen winery interviews and lots of new releases)
For 9 Years the Okanagan Falls Winery Assn has gathered in Vancouver to pour their Spring Releases
NOT THIS YEAR – Because of the Pandemic, 2020 has become a dark period in our World
We wanted to support our friends in the wine world so this is a repeat of last years pour with two new Wineries’s added Black Market and Echo Bay.
The group is now called The Okanagan Falls/Skaha Lake Winery Association. THE HEART OF WINE COUNTRY.
Last year we found them at The Terminal City Club on Hastings. A grand heritage building. Funds raised go to BC Hospitality Foundation.
The whole Group
From the northern tip of Skaha Lake to the hills above Vaseux Lake the Okanagan Falls wine region in the South Okanagan was blessed with the land that the ice age left behind.
When the huge glacier came through and formed the valley, it managed to created pools and hollows. Each one today has become its own growing terroir. A combination of silt and rock. Each vineyard can have a completely different expression of wine.
Best of all, the days are hot and bright and the nights are cool. Possibly the best growing combination that nature can provide.
In 2018, the B.C. Wine Authority gave Okanagan Falls their own sub-region designation. Followed by The Skaha Bench.
