    What's up with the Poisonous Black Sand in the River and on the Beaches !. I hear if you want to get sick just walk barefoot on the Beaches up in Northport, WA. You can thank those Canadians for the Smelter Dumping toxic Slug into the Columbia River.

    Bill has a great story about former " Hole in the wall gang" guy who was doing B&Es in Union Bay. Might of been a story about BC Police Force. Can't find it, anyone know of it?

    When these shows were “recent” I watched them on the coast, from the Kelowna station I think. Now I live outside Nelson so it’s nice to see these again.

    why don't you fix the volume on your downloads so we can actually hear an episode. can't hear anything on most(90%) of your downloads. wtf???

    • @lesliedycke9795

      You need to fix the audio controls on your computer. These videos were produced in Mono format not stereo. And if you don't like don't listen. I didn't put all this work into making this channel just to listen to people like you. I can just as easily shut it down.
