The tragic case of Beverly Lynn Smith’s death is a hard one to wrap your head around, mostly because there have been several confessions (though many argue they were coerced) and many changing recollections of that cold December 9th night in 1974 in Oshawa, Ontario. Which version, if any, that we have heard contains the full truth? The answer to that question alone (along with evidence to back up the answer) is the only way to finally find justice for a heartbroken family who has spent nearly fifty years seeking that truth.

"We're changing the culture; going from a bureaucratic organization to a customer service-centric organization..."

Dan Carter is the freshly re-elected mayor of the City of Oshawa, Ontario.  This conversation was recorded within less than 40 hours of the official election results announcing his return as mayor with the goal of understanding his vision for the City for the next 4 years and his personal commitments to drive the organizational change necessary for bringing that vision into being.

Wednesday was a pop vocal group from Oshawa who, among myriad other achievements, scored a hit single on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 in 1974 with their cover of the Wayne Cochrane song (later made famous by Pearl Jam), "Last Kiss", which peaked at #34 in the USA and #2 on the Canadian Charts.  The band was made up of a group of friends who collectively agreed that once they saw the Beatles on TV, that was it.  They needed to do that.

This podcast is another one of our live, open-discussion format episodes, recorded a few weeks ago at Kops Records in downtown Oshawa. with one of Oshawa’s pioneering rock and roll bands, Wednesday.  The interviewer for this episode is music journalist, archivist, and writer, Will McGuirk.  Will also operates the art/music and culture blog, SlowCity.ca.  This discussion also features Glen from the 1950’s/60’s Oshawa-are band, The Blue Jays who adds some interesting historical highlights about what the local scene was like for area musicians gigging in the very early days of rock and roll. 

Right around the day we’re releasing this, Wednesday is receiving a Lifetime Achievement award at the Oshawa Music Awards, so congratulations to the whole band for that and now please enjoy this conversation with Wednesday…

Did you know Oshawa may have received cannon fire from an American ship in the War of 1812?  What about the fact that Oshawa's first police chief also wrote a gossip column for the local newspaper?

History often best comes to life when it's told through the stories of the people who lived it and that's the work of local artist Eric Sangwine in a nutshell.  For this episode, we convened in front of a live audience at Kops' Records in downtown Oshawa for a discussion facilitated by history enthusiast Claudio Faria, Eric, and Oshawa Museum curator, Melissa Cole.  What you're about to hear is a fun, wide-ranging and markedly non-linear telling of some niche parts of the history of Oshawa; we hope you enjoy it.
