The CKUW Awards were announced on Thursday April 30 and At the Monarch’s Convenience was the recipient of two, count em two awards!
Our first award was for Community Engagement. This juried prize was won despite the tough competition of our co-nominees, Inner City Voices and Black Mask being just two examples.
Michael Welch won the award for Rookie of the Year!
Congratulations to everyone who has worked so hard for the last year on At the Monarch’s Convenience!

Well with the end of the school year and winter we find ourselves a little bit behind in posting news and the new episodes.
If you’ve been tuning in you may have wondered what last week was all about. Let’s call it a little glimpse into the making of At The Monarch’s Convenience, a sort of behind the scenes episode.
This week we are airing episode 39, this is our penultimate episode. That’s right, next week will be the end of At the Monarch’s Convenience.
We have been broadcasting for a full year now and in that year we have managed to write, produce and air 40 half hour episodes. Quite an accomplishment for a mostly volunteer effort and one that we are all very proud of.
We hope that you have enjoyed the show as much as we have and will tune in next week and listen to our good-bye.
We are pleased to introduce Darlene Darling, the creation of Sarah Arenson who also voices her. Darlene is a talk radio host with a biblical agenda, a deeply spiritual person who is moved to political action by her commtiment to God. Darlene is a deeply compassionate person who believes in the inherent diginity of all life.
We think you’ll like her.
To everyone who pledged their support to the show from everyone here at CKUW and especially the cast and crew of At The Monarch’s Convenience.
