Our next show at the @albertarose.theatre is hereâand itâs going to be a BIG ONE âźď¸
Weâre bringing together podcaster and media critic Sarah Marshall, writer and poet @camilledungy , bestselling author @angelanissel , and Grammy-nominated jazz artist @kassaoverall for exactly the kind of night you come to Live Wire for.
And can you believe weâre already halfway through our Spring Season? You all have completely sold out our last two shows, and the energy in that room has been nothing short of electric. In a time when lifting up artistsâ voices feels more urgent than ever, you show upâand that means everything to us.
If youâve grabbed a ticket and sat in one of those seats this season: thank you, from the bottom of our hearts.
Now letâs do it again.

In todayâs brand new episode⌠Avery Trufelman, creator and host of the fashion podcast "Articles of Interest," unpacks how the US military of World War II came to shape menswear as we know it today; stand-up comedian @kylekinane comes to terms with the amount of micro (and macro) plastics in this body; and Brazilian musical duo @johnnythefranco and his @realbrotherdom deliver their delightful shtick with tunes, jokes, and old-school radio charm.

In two days! đď¸ âYouâre Wrong Aboutâ podcast host Sarah Marshall returns to Live Wire with a new project to share, a CBC limited-series all about the Satanic Panic called âThe Devil You Know.â
Sarah (@yourewrongaboutpod ) can turn any topic into the most fascinating deep dive youâve ever done. Last time we had her on the show, she explained how our cultureâs memory of certain stories, like this one about âThe Shoe Bomberâ Richard Reid, can permeate our lives and the ways we live them.
The show is this Thursday, 7:30pm at the Alberta Rose Theatre. Will we see you there?

HAPPY 50TH BIRTHDAY, LUKE! â¨
Our beloved host @luke_burbank is kind of like the Pikachu of public radio. Today may not be a new episode day, but our re-run features a throwback to this Best News story about middle-aged men trading cards in Kawara, Japan. Well, although 50 years is still young, we thought itâd only be appropriate to celebrate this way.
If you want to express your support for Luke, as well as the incredible guests heâll be interviewing, grab a ticket to our show next Thursday at the Alberta Rose Theatre!
