Hear part of the Background Noise chat with Mark Little above.
If you’re like me, you just don’t know where you’ll be getting your radio jollies now that Andrew Krystal has left Maritime Morning, am I right? Cough.
Well, for those who like their radio humour loud and crude, Background Noise might be the thing for you. It’s an amusingly crass local comedy talk show hosted by four kooks (Devin Deuville, Derrek Ord, Luke James and Jon Sangster) and recently enjoyed its one-year anniversary. Each episode is a mix: there are interviews, cheeky takes on local news, radio bits, and mostly just a lot of casual bullshitting between friends. Past guests have included Three Sheet’s Vanessa Furlong, Live 105 host Floyd and Mark Little. They are starting to dip their toes into Halifax’s musical milieu, with Black Moor drummer Sylvain Coderre stepping in for a guest appearance. The episode will be posted at backgroundnoise.ca today. Keep checking every Friday for new episodes.
