- Hear Your Voice on CJSW Celebrating 18,000 Watts!
Sing it loud and sing it clear; this coming Thursday, CJSW is jumping from 4,000 to 18,000 watts! Because of this, until the end of July Industry Canada requires us to make a special announcement about our signal every 15 minutes. That’s over 2000 special announcements! To keep us sounding like our usual fresh selves, we have set up a special hotline for listeners to call and record the announcement in their own voice. It's easy to be one of those voices, just follow these instructions.

- The Ivory Tower - Episode 2
On this episode, Sean Willett talks with two University of Calgary researchers who use scientific instruments to learn more about our world — and what lies beyond our world. First, Sean talks with Dr. Bernard Guest, whose lab has used a suite of instruments to interpret the history hidden within rocks. After that, Dr. Chris Cully explains how he is using an instrument-filled balloon to measure space storms, which are even cooler than they sound.

- Don't Smile Show 3
Comedians and comics! This month Sarah invents some pretty fantastic new characters with Calgary comedian Jeff Toth, and then they talk superheroes, comics, and what it's like to have an entire town hate your jokes. Next Sarah chats with Matt Fraction, writer of Hawkeye, The Mighty Thor, The Immortal Iron Fist, and New York Times best selling comic series Sex Criminals. They talk about what it's like to write one of the funniest, most irreverently sexy comics ever. And finally, Don't Smile presents episode 3 of sci-fi radio play Sweepers! The adventure continues as Captain Hawthorne deals with those darn Brovian scavengers! NON-STOP FUN.

- The Throwback: Your Favourite Programs Return!
Do you pull your hair out when you hear that your favourite CJSW program is going off the air? Do you find yourself screaming at the radio in anger, disbelief, hinging on terror? We know the feeling. Thankfully, there's now The Throwback, Sundays from 12:30 pm - 1:30 pm. Tune in, reminisce, return to glory.
The idea is simple; for two months popular hosts from years past hops on the mic for a swan song. We've bringing back the best of the best, shows and programmers that we love and miss. After two months, we cycle in another titan of the mic. Sonja Allerdings of Fantastic Plastic is kicking the show off on July 6th.
