You can hear the work of Carleton University’s senior journalism students on the air on Midweek, a public affairs audio show that is a production of the Carleton University School of Journalism and Communication.

The Midweek team’s members are journalism students in the senior years of our School’s Bachelor and Master of Journalism programs, under the guidance of their instructor, Prof. Nana aba Duncan. Students come from across the country and often from abroad as well. Midweek teams do nine on-air shows each term as part of their coursework, in either the Fall or Winter terms of the academic year.
Midweek’s studios are located at The School of Journalism and Communication in Richcraft Hall on Carleton’s campus, and our shows are transmitted live by CKCU 93.1 FM, the campus and community radio station based at Carleton. Our audio technologist David Sarazin is crucial to the show’s production.
You can listen to us live online most Wednesdays during the university’s Fall and Winter academic terms. We’re on CKCU-FM after the BBC News at noon.

And after the fact, podcasts of each episode are posted with musical segments removed to respect copyright. To get the full “Midweek” experience, you are best to tune in to CKCU! But you can also catch up through the podcasts.
Many Midweek alums show up every day on your radio, TV or other screens — famous folks who got their start right here on Midweek at Carleton.
