8:30 – Saskatchewan saw some big spikes in COVID-19 recently, including our highest-ever active case count and a 16th death. With the pandemic hitting the southern Hutterite communities hard, and more cases discovered around the province, it has some calling for stronger public health measures while others are still unconcerned. Epidemiologist Cynthia Carr joins Drew to share her thoughts on Saskatchewan’s COVID-19 spike, and whether measures like mandatory masks should be considered.

10:00 – AC/DC’s ‘Back in Black’ celebrated its 40th anniversary Saturday, and if you know Drew Remenda, you know he’s a firm believer that AC/DC is the greatest band of all time. That’s got us in the mood to revive a topic we started last time Drew was hosting: What’s the band you’d give anything to see in concert, and what’s the band you wouldn’t cross the street to see? Give Drew a call at 1-877-332-8255 and join the conversation!
11:00 – Author Michael Zwaagstra joins the show to talk about his book The Naked Man Flees: Timeless Truths from Obscure Parts of the Bible. According to Zwaagstra, the book takes a look at obscure parts of the Bible that are commonly overlooked and explains what they mean. While this book will obviously be of most interest to Christians, it should be of interest to non-Christians too since it is written in a user-friendly way and gives people a better understanding of the book that largely shaped Western Civilization.

12:00 – While COVID-19 means people can’t visit Wanuskewin Heritage Park normally, but the part is still busy as they expand their bison herd. Dr. Ernie Walker joins Drew for an update on the bison, and to tell us about their upcoming “Really Really Really Antique Roadshow.” The Aug. 4 event will see Dr. Walker identifying and dating artifacts like bones, tools, and arrowheads, and they want the public to send in any artifacts they might have found over the years.
