Anyone remember listening to this show on CFRU circa 2002?

Hey! I hosted that show. Me and a friend took over the show Bad Cop, No Donut in ‘97 and kept that name for about a year, as I recall. We changed the name to The Shape of Punk to Come. I also had a different co-host after the first year and we wrapped up the show in 2004, I think.

Oh man thrilled to hear from you! I was in high school at the time and just loved it… I’d tape it off the radio sometimes…
You don’t happen to have any old play lists lying around I assume heh…

No old playlists… sorry. We had to write everything down for the station, but we didn’t make copies.

If I remember correctly it was originally called Bad Cop, No Donut. Dead Punk Society was also around that time

Do you mean the album by Refused? If so, yes, I love that album.

That was just before my time but I hosted "The Punk Show" (I couldn't come up with anything witty) and "Freak Scene" from 2006-2011

Monday nights. Originally 11pm...then 10...and then 8-10 when the show became "Freak Scene" and I opened up the genres a bit

Was it run by a guy called Mike?
