A happy winter solstice to all! Whatever your background, culture, and traditions, winter is a time to gather with family, friends, and community (if only in spirit) and to celebrate. On the shortest day of the year, Syf offers up some of her favourite Christmas, holiday, and winter music to wile away the sunshine and the long, cozy night with. PLUS: Brenda Lieberman, Festival Director and Founding Member of our sponsor, the Calgary Underground Film Festival, joins us to talk all things CUFF, Calgary, and cinema!
